Blended families may have concerns specific to their situations. You may want to frame your distribution guidelines differently to assure that your children are well-cared for and that their inheritance is protected. In the case of remarriage, children from prior marriages may lose some of their inheritance to the surviving spouse. However, you will also likely want to ensure that your new spouse will have access to some of your assets. With careful estate planning, you can make sure that your assets are distributed fairly, the way you would like them to be, and to maintain relationships among members of the blended family after you’re gone.
