No. The money belongs to the parent, to do with as the parent wishes. The parent can stand on a street corner and give $20 bills to passers-by if he or she wants to. The children have no right whatever to expect anything at all from a parent; if the parent has anything to leave when he or she dies, and chooses to leave it to the children, then the children are in luck, but that's it!
