A second marriage is a blessing and changes more than your household. Who depends on you, who inherits from you, and who may be left with hard feelings all factor into the financial decisions that come with a blended family.
If you have children from a prior marriage, step or bonus children, or assets you brought into the relationship, deciding where your assets will go upon your passing can become complicated. It's a delicate balance between caring for your new spouse while protecting the financial future of your children and loved ones.
For years, I have helped these clients identify and address several topics:
- Potential conflicts
- Beneficiary designations
- Retirement goals to ensure your money lasts a lifetime
- Protecting family members upon death
- Coordinating with an estate planning attorney to draft wills, Powers of Attorney, and trusts as necessary
Whether you are recently remarried or have been part of a blended family for years, designing and implementing a blended family strategy with a trusted financial planner by your side will set you on the path to success and give you the peace you're seeking.
