Estate planning tips for modern families
These days, the ‘traditional’ family where a man and woman get married, have 2.4 children, who then grow up to live locally with their own spouse and children is clearly far less common than it was a generation ago. And yet, when it comes to planning what will happen to your estate after your days, the legislation is still largely geared to a ‘traditional family’ set-up, leaving it more complicated for blended families - where couples have children from other relationships - and same-sex couples to know what to consider when estate planning. Associate solicitor in our Wills & Probate department, Afonwy Howell-Pryce, shares her top tips.
