How to make a Will if you have a blended family? It is becoming increasingly common for couples to marry with one or both parties having children from a previous relationship. They may also go on to have children together. This is known as a blended family. As far as ‘blended’ families are concerned, the situation is likely to be complex. Without professional advice, blended families face the risk of costly legal disputes and the breakdown of family relationships. A professionally drafted Will can help reduce this risk and ensure that the right balance is achieved between providing fairly for all the children of the family and the surviving partner. In a blended family situation, failure to make a Will can lead to the children of either party being disinherited. As it can often be complex for a blended family, then many couples avoid the issue by adopting a simple plan or they do nothing at all. They will rely on their surviving partner to do what they think is right. But this can open up a host of issues to deal with. Seeking professional advice and making a Will is the key.
