Divorce & Estate Planning | Episode 05: Kids, Blended Families & Guardianship

If you have children — from one relationship or several — this is the most important episode in the series for you. 👇 You'll learn: ✅ Why a will can nominate a guardian but can't legally appoint one — and what that means for your kids ✅ Why the guardian (who raises your kids) and the trustee (who manages their money) should almost always be different people ✅ Why minor children can't directly inherit over $15,000 without a court-appointed guardian of property — and how a trust avoids it entirely ✅ Choosing a distribution age for your kids' inheritance (18? 25? staggered?) ✅ Blended family planning: the QTIP trust that lets you provide for your new spouse AND protect your prior children ✅ Why stepchildren have ZERO inheritance rights in Florida unless named explicitly ✅ Why child support survives your death as a claim against your estate — and how court-ordered life insurance factors in ✅ The three conversations most parents avoid — with your kids, your co-parent, and your new partner 📌 Next up: Episode 6 — The Full Reset: your complete post-divorce document checklist 📌 Catch up: Episode 1 | Episode 2 | Episode 3 | Episode 4 ⚠️ This video is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
