Opinions on helping out daughter of my late brother [View all]
My brother died recently after a year long health battle. He and I haven't been real close for many years, no animosity or anything, we just kind of went in separate directions and didn't do a very good job of staying in touch. He left behind two adult daughters, and I'm looking for thoughts on something.
His oldest daughter is married and they're doing OK financially, her husband runs a small business that seems to be doing pretty well. She did most of the work as far as taking care of my brother this last year - getting him to see doctors, arranging a nursing home, and finally moving him to hospice.
His second daughter doesn't have much, she and her girlfriend are both on disability and from what I can tell are just barely managing to get by.
I'm thinking about sending a check to my niece who's struggling, not life changing money by any means but something to help them out a bit. I'm torn though about sending a gift to one but not the other, and could use some second opinions.
