The Estate Planning -Divorce, Remarriage.How Your Children Could Be Disinherited

Estate planning mistakes can disinherit your children, especially if you’re divorced and remarried. Many parents assume their spouse will ensure their children inherit their wealth—but legally, that’s not guaranteed. If assets pass outright to your spouse, they can be redirected elsewhere, particularly if they remarry. To avoid this, a properly structured trust secures your spouse’s financial needs while guaranteeing your children’s inheritance. Without clear legal protections, families face bitter disputes and costly court battles. The solution? Use a trust instead of a simple will, set explicit legal guidelines, limit unchecked control, and work with an experienced estate planning attorney. This isn’t just about good intentions—it’s about securing your legacy with airtight strategies. The biggest mistake is doing nothing, leaving your children vulnerable. Smart estate planning ensures that what you’ve built remains with those you intended to inherit it. Take action now to safeguard your family’s future. Get in touch.
