BBC Two - Can't Take It with You, Disability

Two couples with special needs offspring face tough choices about dividing their estate.

Series confronting the difficulties of writing a will. Two couples with special needs offspring face tough choices when it comes to dividing their estate.

Series confronting some of the emotional dilemmas people face in writing a will and help them with the often taboo and neglected task of working out how to evaluate and divide their estate.  

An astonishing 70 percent of us will go to our graves without ever making a will.  However, dying without a legally valid will, or having written an incorrect one, can lead to loved ones receiving nothing and could even tear a family apart. Each week Sir Gerry Robinson, one of the country's leading businessmen, and top legal expert Sue Medder will help two families face up to writing their wills, bringing friends and relatives together to discuss who gets what and why.  

Having a child with special needs can leave parents facing tough choices when it comes to making a will. Bruce wants to write a will which leaves nothing to his children, or his autistic grandson, but instead gives everything to his two other grandchildren. However, Bruce's whole family disagree with this plan.

Patsy and Andy can't agree on what to leave their daughter, Rebecca. Andy thinks she should get more than her brothers, because she is severely disabled and will need lifelong care, but Patsy can't bear the thought of leaving some children less than others, and wants to divide everything three ways.
