About the Webinar

Estate planning for blended families comes with additional complexities, particularly when navigating significant age gaps between spouses or children from former relationships. It is unsurprising therefore that many contested estate claims occur in the context of blended families when the life stages and needs of family members from different families of the testator differ. To help manage competing beneficiary interests in the estate plan of blended families, this session examines:

  • Common strategies within blended families and the advantages, disadvantages and issues that can arise with each, including mirror wills, mutual wills, and life interests
  • How to determine what is adequate and proper provision to each beneficiary, depending on their needs and relationship with the will-maker and beneficiary, along with the size of the estate
  • Potential alternative strategies including life insurance, use of superannuation proceeds, child pension and trusts to fund lifestyle, property, education for younger children etc
  • How to ensure the second spouse is looked after when of similar age to adult children
  • Lessons from recent cases
  • Practical examples
