Is Your Estate Plan Specifically Designed For Your Blended Family?
Let me tell you a true story. A woman I knew finally found love in her 60s. She married again. She had been successful in her career and brought two homes and significant savings into the marriage.
Her new husband, while kind and loving, had no significant assets. Each of them had children from previous marriages — their kids met at the wedding, but that’s about it.
Years passed. She died first.
Her husband chose to stay in the home she owned. He lived there for years and considered it “his,” but legally, it wasn’t. Her children now owned the house. He couldn’t afford to move, and he didn’t want to leave.
Her children were heartbroken — not only grieving the loss of their mom, but now watching her savings dwindle, paying for someone else’s living and homecare expenses.
They were stuck. Selling the home felt cruel. Keeping it felt unfair. Their inheritance was paying for their stepfather’s life. They argued with each other. They argued with him. They wondered what she would have wanted.
No one wins. There was no written plan. Just resentment and hurt feelings.
