Attention: Gen Xer

by | Sep 23, 2025 | Uncategorized, Wills

 


“If you’re a Gen Xer like me, chances are your parents are Baby Boomers — and many of them are now divorced, remarried, and part of blended families. But what happens to the will when there are step-siblings and second spouses in the mix?”

 


So many families torn apart after a parent passes away, simply because the will wasn’t set up properly for a blended family.”

 

What You Need to Know

 

    • Without a properly drafted will, stepchildren may not automatically inherit.

    • A surviving spouse may get priority, leaving biological children overlooked.

    • Sometimes adult children are completely left out unintentionally.

Do You Need to Contest a Will?

    • Yes, you can contest a will if you’re a child who’s been left out or unfairly provided for.

    • Courts look at financial need, relationship history, and fairness.

    • But contesting a will can be costly and stressful — so prevention (proper estate planning) is best.


“If your parents are in a blended family, have the conversation early. And if you’ve been left out of a will, know that you may have legal options.”
