Who We Serve: Blended Families

---

At The Blueprint Legacy Group, we understand that blended families in Illinois face unique estate planning challenges. Our personalized services are designed to: 

• Ensure Fair Asset Distribution: Crafting wills and trusts that balance the needs of your spouse and children from previous relationships, ensuring that family harmony continues both now and when you're no longer here.
• Designate Guardians for Minor Children: Appointing trusted individuals to care for your children, considering the complexities of blended family dynamics. 
• Update Beneficiary Designations: Reviewing and revising beneficiaries on life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and other assets to reflect your current family structure. 
• Facilitating Open Family Communication: Encouraging discussions to ensure all family members understand your estate planning decisions, reducing potential conflicts. 

Without a comprehensive estate plan, Illinois law may not distribute your assets according to your wishes, potentially leading to unintended consequences for your blended family. Also, your children will be at risk of being intentionally disinherited and your family will be at risk for major conflict. At BLG, we are committed to guiding you through the complexities of estate planning for blended families, ensuring your legacy is protected and your loved ones are provided for according to your intentions.
