Without a Will, the Law Decides—And You Might Not Like It!

I recently had a client who was upset to learn that, under the law, her children from a previous marriage would receive less than she intended—simply because she didn’t have a will or trust in place.

This isn’t uncommon, and it’s why estate planning is so important, especially for blended families. Without clear instructions, state law decides who gets what, and the outcome may not align with your wishes.

If you want to ensure fairness and avoid unintended consequences, having a well-structured estate plan is key.
