In nearly half of all stepfamilies, one spouse or the other
brings a child or children with them. But while most estate
planning books give a general overview of the process of creating a
will, trust or other estate plan, most do not have the information
that couples in a second marriage need to provide for the entirety
of their family.
Estate Planning for Blended Families is the first book
that will help you provide for your current spouse as well as
children from both your previous and current marriages. Attorney
Richard Barnes is a practicing lawyer who helps couples just like
you create estate plans that take care of the entirety
of a blended family. You'll get targeted
information on:
-
Identifying goals and concerns
-
Discussing matters with your spouse
-
Planning for all children involved
-
Estate and gift taxes in a second marriage
-
Choosing executors, trustees and guardians
-
Working with lawyers, financial planners and other
experts
Estate Planning for Blended Families also includes sample
estate plans, current tax information for your state, and the
latest information about which federal and state laws apply to you
and your loved ones, so that you can create the right estate plan
for your whole family.
