No, wescoastforme. Your wife's money is HERS and HERS ALONE. Your minor child's money is HIS and HIS ALONE. YOU have no claim to any of it. Now your wife may decide to be generous and share her portion with you, but make no mistake: she is in no way obligated to do so. And the child's money should be held securely in trust until the child is of age and can decide for himself what to do with the money. None of that money belongs to the household as a whole. it belongs to two separate individuals who happen to reside under one roof at the moment.
And the same is true for the other family. Each individual has a share; the family unit as a whole got nothing.
So you can drop the silly "$215,000 to $85,000" comparisons, as they are false and not relevant. Neither household received a dime.
Couple with 1 kid is younger. How Does granny know if younger couple has 2 or 3 more kids after they passed.
Why should granny worry about hypothetical people who may never come to exist when deciding how to divide up her estate? She left her money to the relatives she knew who were alive at the time of her death.

Sorry kid 2,3, and 4 because you were born 1 year, 2 years, and 4 years after granny passed you don’t get a dime. But your brother who is just a few years older than you has $43,000 and so do all of your cousins
