<prompt> Human: Hello PFers, I lurk mostly, post rarely, and Ive been mulling this topic over with myself for a while now. My father is in his mid-60s, and as far as any of his children know, he is healthy. He had a cancer scare a few years ago, and a heart scare a year or two after that, but both were taken care of as best as he has told us. Hes also a lawyer and works in a senior position with a smallish telecom company, so he has easily sustained a 6 figure income for the past 30 years.He doesnt like to talk to his kids about his money. Hes fine giving financial advice and has always gave good advice in that regard, but when it comes to his own money, his lips are tight.Personally, I am 28, recently married, and I am concerned that in the next 10-15 years, other health issues may develop. I think that it would be a good idea to talk to my dad about this topic, partly because at his age I believe he should and probably does have a will in place.Im also, honestly, curious about what hes planning to leave me when he goes. Is there a way to approach this subject with him? Is it wrong to do so? Im hoping for an open discussion on the subject to get others opinions and experiences with this.  <response>: Financially you should prepare for the possibility you get nothing, which by the sounds of it you have not considered.Im also, honestly, curious about what hes planning to leave me when he goesAs a father with assets this irks me but I understand it. My kids have been good to me but if they ever put money over blood Id happily teach them one last life lesson and leave them nothing.
