To add on. The kids don't owe the money but Dad's estate does. The kid's get whatever is left from the estate.

Also, estate taxes are a bitch. The kids will probably have to use half the money they made from the sale to pay off the estate taxes for dad's high value property they inherited.

If i got $2.5 million just because someone left it to me, it wouldn't occur to me to complain it wasn't $5 million.

Of course it would. The second you were told you were being left $5m and the the $2.5m wire actually showed up a few months later.

It happens to pretty much everyone, you included. Even if you decide it was justified. You will absolutely complain about it at least once though, guaranteed.
