Why Estate Planning Is Essential for Blended Families
In a traditional estate plan, spouses typically leave all assets to each other and then to their children. However, this approach often falls short in blended families. What happens to children from a prior marriage? What if your ex-spouse remarries and their new partner becomes entitled to your estate? Without careful planning, these scenarios can leave loved ones unintentionally disinherited.
Estate planning for blended families provides solutions tailored to your specific family structure. With decades of legal experience in estate and family law,
Thomas and Thomas
