Special Considerations in Planning for Non-Traditional Families

Written by Tanya D. Simpson

In today's rapidly changing legal, political and economic climate, non-traditional families are increasingly seeking the counsel of estate planning attorneys to help them navigate through the often conflicting federal and state recognition of their relationships. We as WealthCounsel attorneys need not fear to tackle these issues, as we are particularly well equipped to design and build good, strong plans for these families. We have a very well outfitted toolbox, and we know how to use most of the tools already. Planning for non-traditional families is simply a matter of applying logic and our good knowledge of what each tool can and cannot do, and then structuring the pieces in a way that is most beneficial to these families.
