Estate Planning for Blended Families

Blended families are families in which one or both partners have children from prior relationships or marriages. Thoughtful estate planning is required to assure that all family members are provided for appropriately and are taken care in the manner that you intend.

Blended families present unique estate planning challenges. Pre-Nuptial or Post-Nuptial Agreements can govern spousal inheritance rights in blended families. Specialized trusts can provide lifetime benefits to your second spouse and ultimately benefit your children from your previous marriage. Attorney Robert Adler understands the challenges facing blended families and can provide valuable guidance and assistance in developing a comprehensive estate plan that meets your families unique needs. Adler will help you navigate the complexities of estate planning and related income tax law and estate tax law to ensure that your wishes are carried out effectively.
