BLENDED FAMILIES/ DIVORCE

Estate planning for divorced and blended families is a unique balancing act of compelling needs.  When divorcing, a complete review of a will, trust, and assets is a must.  We have been involved in many cases where litigation has transpired due to a lack of effective estate planning after a divorce.

​

Over time, after their divorce or death of a spouse, it is common for new families to form.  This growth and evolution of a family should be celebrated.   However, one must be mindful of the unique planning results they need to be balanced.  You want to take care of your new spouse while still leaving a legacy for your children and others.  We will explore these questions together to help come up with a plan that reflects your needs.  We will explore issues and options you are likely unaware of.  We welcome the opportunity to serve you
