About the Webinar

Each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way, and a blended family increases the likelihood of unhappiness when it comes to estate planning. When a blended family consists of adult children of the first relationship and minor children of the second, there is a tension between the needs of the minor children and the expectations of the adults. This session reviews the practical issues that often arise in the context of blended families and how to deal with these, including:

  • Identifying the needs of the surviving spouse, minor children vs adult children of the previous relationship
  • Using testamentary trusts to ensure the surviving spouse is taken care of whilst guaranteeing residual capital to the children
  • Mutual wills - what can you do to avoid the second partner spending the entire estate and the adult children missing out?
  • The sufficiency of a life interest over the family home - keeping the second spouse and adult children from the first marriage happy
  • The advantages and disadvantages of providing the spouse with a right to reside in the main residence
  • Second spouse planning and SMSFs
