Unfortunately layabout will likely squander and windfall inheritance. A trust the trickles out the funds might protect everyone better.

I've suggested this to my father and explained the advantages, but ultimately it's his money and I can't tell him what to do.

And if my brother squanders his portion, that's his problem. I'll be able to tell him with a clear conscience that I forfeited my right to a 50/50 split so that he'd get most of it, including the house. He's not my kid and doesn't get to come mooch off of me.
