There’s a 33% chance that you reading this (yes, you!) are in a blended family. Whether you call yourself a step-parent, child, grandparent, or sibling, we’re sure you’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how you can provide the best future for your family.
And, as the idea of the “traditional family” changes into something more diverse and variable, you need to have more intentional and clarifying conversations – especially when it comes to your estate plan!

- How will your minor children be cared for if you can’t look after them?
- Who will act as your power of attorney?
- What assets and property do you want protected for either your spouse or your children?
- How will you set beneficiary designations for life insurance or investment accounts?
