Estate planning can be complicated in second marriage situations. You want to take care of your spouse, but you also want to make sure your estate passes to your children from previous relationships.

Estate planning can be complicated in second (or subsequent) marriage situations. Of course you want to take care of your spouse, but you may also want to make sure your estate passes to your children from previous relationships. There are a lot of creative tools and techniques we can use to accomplish both these goals, from creating life estates in real estate to funding Revocable Living Trusts or Qualified Personal Residence Trusts (QPRTs) or Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILITs). Every family is different and every family is unique. Blended families can be great and blended families can carry a lot of hurt feelings and resentments, especially when things are not planned out.

We proudly represent clients throughout Washington and Idaho and are available to meet in person, by phone, or via video conference.
