Inheritances are never guaranteed. Sit down with her and explain that she really needs to control her spending and living beyond her needs.Tell her you never know what the future holds that when the time comes there may be no money left.Stock market crash, catastrophic medical conditions, long term care facilities could drain the account quickly. Do not promise to leave her a great Inheritance, instead set her up with a financial advisor to help her get out of the hole she has dug for herself.

Don't tell her. Just do his will. He doesn't have to disclose the contents.
