If you are in a second (or subsequent) marriage with children from a prior relationship, estate planning is crucial to prevent conflict among your loved ones.
Regardless of how close or friendly your new spouse and children may seem, an inherent conflict often arises upon your death. This conflict can be mitigated through careful planning to ensure that both your spouse and children are well cared for, with minimal friction.
Proper estate planning can even foster cooperation between your spouse and children during a time of grief. This requires thoughtful preparation, and our team is highly skilled in addressing the unique needs of "blended families" — a term used to describe families formed from second or subsequent marriages with children from previous relationships.
If this describes your situation, contact us for a Family Wealth Planning Session. Together, we will review your assets, your loved ones, and what would happen in the event of your incapacity or death. This session will empower you to make informed decisions, ensuring the best possible care and harmony for those you love.
