The stakes are high when it comes to estate planning for blended families. In the previous article, we discussed the importance of a comprehensive estate plan for blended families. But there are countless downfalls to a missing or incomplete estate plan that echo long after a loved one has passed away that you should know about. We discussed the importance of proactive estate planning, bloodline protection, and creating a balanced estate plan. Now, let us explore what can go wrong if these measures are not taken. Legal Disputes and Family Strife The absence of a clear and legally sound estate plan can result in costly and prolonged legal disputes among family members. These conflicts drain financial resources and cause emotional distress. Family members may find themselves embroiled in disputes over the interpretation of vague or non-existent estate planning documents, which can deepen existing rifts and create new ones. Loss of Control Over Asset Distribution Without specific legal directives, state laws will determine how your assets are distributed upon your death. These default rules rarely align perfectly with a person’s wishes, particularly in the nuanced contexts of blended families. If you do
not actively create a comprehensive estate plan, you essentially leave the distribution of your life’s work to general laws that are not designed to address the unique dynamics of your family.
