Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
When one makes an intention to do good, that is a guest from Allah. Hasten in fulfilling the intention to do Sadaqae Jariya. The reward for Sadaqae Jariya will be according to one’s intention. You may make intention for whoever you wish to. For all your family members and the entire Ummat.  
This will not decrease anything from their Thawab or from your Thawab.
 
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
