i know in America, for example they take a very different view to leaving money to children etc

are less likely to leave their entire estates to their children, due to their "new money" attitude ie you make it yourself.

I used my inheritance from my dad's death to put an extension on my house.
I used my inheritance from my mum's death to buy the aforementioned screaming harridan out of said house.

Sad times all round.
