I have three brothers but one passed awayMy parents simple did 33% for each of my living brothers and 34% for me. I had to laugh at getting the extra 1%.

I have a Chinese (Canadian) friend who received shoe boxes full of family owned gold and jade jewellery when she got married that came from her parents and in-laws I think. Is this common? Does that off-set the inheritence issue to a degree?
Ditto! My husband and I have a pendant that belonged to his gram (his sister got the huge Tiffany ruby!) and it means a lot to both of us. He was extremely close with his gram, too! I don''t think the sons should necessarily get nothing as far as jewelry goes. I would not have a problem with a DIL wearing my jewelry, as long as I knew it would be returned in the case of divorce.Date: 3/29/2009 9:13:00 AM

Split evenly and that includes jewelry. I know my son would appreciate family heirlooms as much as my daughter. Heirlooms given to your children are protected in the case of a divorce as long as it can be proven who they belong to.
