Key Takeaways:

Risk for Mixed Families: When a married couple has children from different marriages, there is a risk that the surviving spouse could later disinherit their stepchildren, changing the intended inheritance plan.

The Trust Solution: The best way to ensure the deceased's wishes are honored is to use a Trust mechanism within a full estate plan.

Caring for the Spouse: The trust can give the income portion of the inheritance to the surviving spouse for their lifetime to ensure they are taken care of (often with a "spendthrift provision" for their health, safety, and maintenance).

Protecting Children: The surviving spouse never inherits the principal balance of the money; instead, the principal goes directly to all intended children (biological and stepchildren) as remaindermen, protecting their inheritance.

Custom Conditions: Trusts can include conditions on inheritance, such as requiring children to reach a certain age or attain a college education before receiving assets outright.
