Neither did my grandparents. Likewise, my parents didn't update their will when my children and nieces were born.

The attitude among all generations has been: your own kids inherit, and they distribute to their kids as they see fit.

I wasn't in my grandparents wills, but I ended up with some of their furniture.

If you actually have good parents, there is no need to. Unless you're over 18 the money typically goes to your parents anyway.

What's a will?
