🏡 Blended families can bring unique challenges to the estate planning process. Partner, Dena Klotz, discusses some of the important—and sometimes uncomfortable—conversations that remarried couples and blended families should consider when creating an estate plan:
 
📋 Reviewing a prenup with an estate planning attorney
🤝 Balancing the interests of a surviving spouse and children from previous relationships
📑 Choosing the right trust structure
👥 Deciding who should serve as trustee
🏠 Planning for what happens to the family home after the first spouse passes away
💬 Addressing expectations around property, expenses and inheritance
 
With her background in both estate planning and marriage and family therapy, Dena brings a unique perspective to the family dynamics that can influence estate planning decisions.
 
These conversations may not always be easy—but having them early can help families avoid difficult conflicts later! 💙

What’s the difference between a fiduciary, trustee, and executor? ⚖️ These terms are often used interchangeably, but each has a distinct role:

☂️ Fiduciary → The umbrella term for someone legally required to act in another person’s best interest.
🏛️ Trustee → Manages assets held in a trust for the benefit of beneficiaries.
📜 Executor → Administers a deceased person’s estate through probate.

Same person, different roles → Someone can serve as both a trustee and an executor, but each role comes with different rules and responsibilities.

🔎 Why does it matter? Understanding which role you’re dealing with can help clarify the duties, processes, and legal requirements that apply.
