Estate Planning for Blended Families

"My husband and I were married later in life. We both had children from previous marriages and postponed planning for years because we weren't sure how to address things. Now that we have a plan, we know what will happen when he or I die and that our family will receive what we wanted them to no matter what."

Estate Planning for Blended Families

According to a recent Pew Research study, 40% of all new marriages include at least one spouse who has previously been married. This number does not include statistics about couples who marry and have children from previous relationships. What many of these couples don’t realize is that when children from prior marriages or relationships are involved, standard estate planning documents do not adequately address their needs. For example, have you considered these questions:
  • Have you changed the beneficiaries of life insurance, retirement accounts, etc. to reflect the new marital relationship?
  • Do you live in a community property state, or are you subject to equitable distribution laws? How do you treat assets that you owned prior to your marriage?
  • If you pass away, who will receive your assets? Your current spouse? Your children? Your spouse’s children?
  • Do you have separate property as well as joint property? Do your documents adequately address both types of property?
  • Do you have both joint children and children from prior relationships? How should each child be treated for estate planning purposes?
  • Do you want your ex-spouse to have any control or say in where your assets go?
There are many tools and options you can use to make sure that your documents clearly reflect your desires. At Inter Vivos, we would be happy to talk to you about your situation and preferences so that you can decide which options work best for you. Give us a call today!
