We can help you ensure that your estate is protected and that your assets are divided according to your and your spouse’s wishes.
What Is Covered in Marriage Planning?
When two individuals marry, many of their assets become “shared assets” in the eyes of the law. In other words, any property, real estate, income, or other assets that are acquired during the time of the marriage become the legal property of both spouses. This, in turn, affects any estate plans that are already in place and can alter how future estate plans are created.
In many instances, an estate plan between two married individuals can become more complicated by the existence of children from previous marriages, former spouses, separate real property, businesses owned by only one spouse, and more. Even without these complex issues, creating an estate plan as a married person requires many decisions and cooperation between the two spouses.
