"Children" are nowadays more than 50 years old when they inherit... Their life and situation are already made and set, and their active life mostly behind them

  Grandchildren, then? As we live longer, we're also able to have children later, and I know many people in their twenties who have had parents pass away or expect it to happen soon.

  The real danger in this pattern is that people do not inherit until they are themselves retired or soon to be. My grandparents didn't die until my parents were both in their 60s. Not getting an inheritance is pain for a young person but they can live on. For someone planning on that money to fund a retirement, someone who is about to stop working due to age anyway, not getting it is life-altering.
