Question: My brother has a gambling addiction. A lot of his own money, along with family and friends’ money, has been given to bookmakers in the past. My parents have included him in their will, of which I am an executor. It would be devastating for my sibling and I to see him use his share for this purpose. I’ve never suggested my parents write him out of the will but would like to know if there are ways the will can be written which can mitigate the risk people like him face of spending a lump sum in a couple of days. Could it specify using the funds only to purchase property, ensuring he doesn’t get his hands on cash?
