Heidi did an AMAZING job as our estate planner! With a somewhat complicated situation in creating a trust for us, as we were living in different states at the time, she made the process easy to understand. Her knowledge of estate planning in all areas of the country was invaluable in assisting us with our needs and explaining each step through the process. We would gladly encourage anyone hiring an estate planner to consider Heidi Webb. Thank you Heidi! :)

Heidi was highly recommended to us as an estate lawyer, and we couldn't be happier in choosing Heidi to set up a trust plan for us. Though professional, she's warm and friendly, making the entire process stress free, explaining everything in terms that were easy for us to understand. She was very thorough and addressed and answered all our concerns.

revising your estate plan after remarriage.

Should I Change My Plan Now that I am Remarried?

If you are planning to remarry or have already remarried, you need to revisit your estate plan to ensure that your wishes and those of your future spouse are protected. Here are three reasons why I advise revising your estate plan after remarriage.

Protect your children from prior marriages

Suppose no appropriate estate planning is in place. In that case, you can imagine a scenario where one spouse with children from a prior marriage dies and, after inheriting the entirety of the joint assets of the estate, the surviving spouse disinherits those children by leaving everything only to the natural-born children of the surviving spouse.

Protect your new spouse

Estate planning will ensure that the new spouse is protected after remarriage. After remarriage, if one spouse dies before updating his or her will and beneficiary designations to include his or her new spouse, the new spouse may be left without the inheritance his or her spouse wanted.

Protect your health care wishes

It is essential to have an advanced health care directive in place. By having appropriately drafted and completed legal documents, spouses can communicate their specific wishes regarding healthcare decisions and medical treatment and eliminate the potential for conflict.
