Mr. Luu has three children, two boys and one girl. Because he wanted his family to have a full and comfortable life, when he was young, he worked hard to earn money. Later, when he had earned some capital, he opened a restaurant. The business was quite favorable, gradually he had enough to eat and save, buy a car, and buy a house.
A few years ago, he unfortunately fell and broke his leg and had to use a wheelchair. Every day he just lay in bed, waiting for his children and grandchildren to come and visit and take care of him.
Now, his eldest son is running a company, so he is very busy and doesn't have much time to visit his father. His second son doesn't want to mention it. He has picked up many bad habits since he was young, and later he went to work as a factory worker, earning just enough to support himself.
Mr. Liu only has a filial daughter. Even though she is married, she always finds time to visit her father.
Although everyone who saw him thought he was a happy man. He had a house, a lot of savings, and a fairly peaceful life. However, he also had his own troubles. He often worried about how his assets would be divided if he died one day.
In fact, he had thought about this issue quite carefully. However, he thought that if one day he had no money left, would his children take care of him like they do now? Previously, a friend of his divided his assets among his children quite early, so later on, his children became indifferent, and he had to live in a nursing home.
Finally, after careful consideration, he decided to divide his property among his three children. He hoped that one day when he returned to his ancestors, his children would not have to fight over this matter.
Because his eldest son's condition was quite good, he gave him 100,000 NDT (equivalent to 350 million VND), his second son's life was still difficult so he gave him 150,000 NDT (equivalent to 526 million VND) and his daughter 50,000 NDT (equivalent to 175 million VND).
He kept the remaining amount of about 50,000 NDT (equivalent to 175 million VND) for himself to use to pay for daily living expenses. As for the house, he asked someone to appraise the property, then sold it and divided it equally among his 3 children.
After receiving the money from their father, Mr. Liu's children were very happy and kept thanking him. But after that, the attitudes of the three people were different. Their economic conditions were quite good, so the eldest son did not pay attention to the money. When he received the money, the second son was very happy because he had worked for 10 years to earn that amount of money. The daughter was very understanding, receiving the money from her father, she bought him a few sets of clothes.
Everything was settled, Mr. Liu was extremely regretful. From that day on, his two sons did not care about him. Before, they came home once every two weeks, but now they did not even call. When he called, they just said they were busy and promised to come home soon.
At this moment, Mr. Luu understood that the reason his two children often came to him before was because they wanted him to divide the property. The more he thought about it, the more he did not understand why he had worked so hard to take care of his children but now they treated him like a stranger.
Fortunately, he still had a youngest daughter. Although she knew that her father did not give her much of his property, she did not resent or hate him. On the contrary, she cared for her father more than before. Because her brothers did not come to visit, she brought her father to her house to take care of him and show her filial piety.
Things to note before dividing assets to children:
- Don't split too early
Although, not every family will face the same situation as Mr. Luu. However, not dividing assets too early will help ensure your own life and at the same time teach your children to be independent and not dependent.
2. Must have own opinion, not be persuaded by others
As for whether to divide assets first or not, everyone needs to think carefully and have a specific plan. If your child requests a division that you do not want, then stand firm in the face of your child's persuasion.
