Expecting to receive inheritance is not something you can do when your born but planning to leave equity is absolutely something that can be done. I'd rather give my children a small boost than nothing at all. Doing something like home ownership can give you something to pass along and something to enjoy too!
Now don't get me wrong, if you can leave your kids a payed off house, that's awesome. Even better if you can leave them with something a little more liquid (some stocks, mutual funds, etc).
But for me, the most important thing I want to leave my kids with is experiences. I hope they'll have lots of great memories of time we spent together, trips we took together, things we learned together, etc.
