Creating an Estate Plan Right for Your Family

Most partners in blended families have "sweetheart" estate plans that leave the surviving partner everything and split the remaining assets to the surviving and deceased spouses' children. However, "sweetheart" estate plans often don't protect any children you may have from a previous relationship. Surviving spouses can make changes to their will and leave nothing to the deceased children for a variety of reasons.

Blended estate planning can be an emotional and challenging process. However, we're committed to ensuring a comfortable and informative experience so you can decide about your future.

Does My Blended Family Require a Custom Estate Plan?

At Selis Law Firm, we can create a written estate plan signed by you and your partner about the distribution of assets after the surviving member's death, also known as the second death. Our goal is to provide peace of mind for you, your children, and your partner with our customized estate planning services for blended families. A personalized estate plan for blended families may be right for you if:

You want to ensure your child from a previous relationship is cared for in the event of your death.

You and your partner both have children from previous relationships and have children together.

You have children from a previous marriage but have no children with your current spouse.

You have concerns about your in-laws or child's spouse.
