Las familias mezcladas son muy comunes en el mundo de hoy. Según la Oficina del Censo de EE. UU., aproximadamente 1 de cada 6 niños comparte un hogar con un padrastro, hermanastro o medio hermano.

Aceptar nuevos miembros en su familia, ya sea a través del nuevo matrimonio o la adopción, puede ser alegre empresa. Cuando se trata de la planificación patrimonial, tener una familia mezclada implica especial atención y preparación.

Sucesión intestada

La planificación del patrimonio es especialmente crucial para las personas en familias mezcladas, ya que no planificar con anticipación puede poner a sus seres queridos en desventaja.

Para aquellos que mueren intestado (sin testamento), los hijastros pueden no tener derecho automáticamente a una herencia, incluso si el fallecido desempeñó un papel importante en su vida. Cuando una persona muere intestada, sus activos son distribuidos por un tribunal de sucesiones de acuerdo con la ley estatal de intestado.

Los hijos de crianza temporal y los adoptados también pueden plantear un problema cuando uno muere intestado. Si el proceso de adopción formal no se ha cumplido, es posible que no se reconozca a un niño como beneficiario bajo la ley intestada.

Para evitar morir intestado, asegúrese de dejar un testamento válido. Si desea dejarle los bienes a alguien que no es un cónyuge o un pariente biológico cercano, debe tener un nombre específico en su plan de sucesión.

Fideicomisos

Debido a que cada familia es única, debe adaptar su plan de patrimonio para que se adapte a sus necesidades individuales, así como a las necesidades de su familia. Los fideicomisos son una opción para construir su plan de sucesión.

Un fideicomiso activo revocable puede actualizarse y modificarse siempre que el propietario de los inmuebles, el otorgante, sigue vivo, mientras que un fideicomiso irrevocable es definitivo. Un fideicomiso le permite delegar cuándo y cómo se distribuyen los activos a los fideicomisarios. Los fideicomisos son una opción popular cuando se planifica el cuidado de niños en caso de la muerte o incapacidad de un tutor.

Actualice su plan de patrimonio

El beneficio de comenzar su plan de patrimonio temprano es que puede revisarse y actualizarse a medida que surjan cambios en su vida. Los hitos como el matrimonio, el nacimiento de un hijo y la compra de una casa son razones para revisar su plan de sucesión y hacer los ajustes necesarios.

La comunicación es clave

Puede descubrir que ser directo acerca de su plan de sucesión aliviará la tensión y la incomodidad asociadas con la planificación para las circunstancias del final de la vida. Hable con su familia sobre sus preferencias médicas, financieras y personales. Asegúrese de que los fideicomisarios y los beneficiarios estén al tanto de cualquier responsabilidad futura que puedan tener. Para las familias mezcladas, se acentúa la necesidad de abordar la planificación patrimonial con especial consideración.

Independientemente de la composición de su familia, la planificación del patrimonio desempeña un papel vital en la protección de sus deseos y mantener a sus seres queridos protegidos.

I highly recommend Attorney Smith to carry out all your estate planning needs. Her approach includes taking the time to educate her clients on their options and explaining tough to understand concepts in a clear way without rushing through the process. Her demeanor made the necessary challenging and personal conversations less intimidating. Attorney Smith and her team (Alexandra) were efficient, patient, and responsive, operating like a well oiled machine. My experience was top notch!
