Planning For Your Blended Family

Estate Planning for Blended Families

Avoid Estate Complications Due to Divorce and/or Remarriage

Families composed of stepchildren now outnumber traditional families according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and this trend is expected to continue as divorce and longer life expectancy rates increase the number of people remarrying.

The complexities of merging two families with regard to creating an comprehensive CA estate plan requires careful and considerate legal diligence. Many people have something at stake, including:

  • Spouses
  • Ex-spouses
  • Children
  • Stepchildren
  • Multiple sets of grandparents

 

Create a Estate Plan That Works to Protect and Support Those You Love

Through a variety of legal options, you can create an estate plan that assures your assets will be distributed as you wish. For example, you may wish that your spouse may live in your home after your death, but upon their death, your home is passed on to your child from your first marriage.

Another situation may involve disinheriting your ex-spouse and removing them as the listed a beneficiary on retirement and life insurance plans, assuring that your will is carried out correctly and your assets are distributed as you wish.

Just because your family situation is complex doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have an adequate estate plan. Dealing with formalities now will save everybody trouble later. Call to set up a free consultation – 818-347-5800
