Blended Families – Planned Giving

Today over 40% of marriages include a spouse previously married. As these blended families consider creating or updating wills and estate plans, they often find a new level of complexity in decision making.

Important issues like, properly providing for the new spouse without accidentally disinheriting biological children and making appropriate custody plans for minor children, are often top of mind.

This guide is here to help you start the conversation and consider key questions like:

• Do I need an estate plan?
• What does a proper estate plan address?
• How do I make the best decisions for my family?
• What pre-existing agreements are already in place?
• Do you have children and or stepchildren who are dependent upon you?

Focus on the Family’s Planned Giving team is here to help walk you through these important questions.
