  • Parents are in denial about their mortality, so they don鈥檛 feel inheritance is a pressing issue.
  • Parents don鈥檛 want their children to feel entitled. Counting on an inheritance could dampen motivation.
  • For their part, children don鈥檛 feel it鈥檚 right to bring it up. They don鈥檛 want to look greedy.
