Blended families commonly include:
While a growing family can bring joy and opportunity for bonding with children and grandchildren who are not related by blood, it can also bring certain complications when estate planning. If you are part of a blended family, even if you have already created a will, it is a good idea to talk to an experienced estate planning attorney to help preserve family unity and goodwill in case of your incapacity or upon your death.
There are many challenges that blended families may face when a parent passes away. These include:
In some cases, disputes end up in court and cause a rift between spouses, children, and grandchildren. This creates complications that could easily have been avoided with proper planning.
