This will depend on several things: Whether it’s your first marriage (for one or both of you); what kinds of assets each of you brings to the marriage; whether either of you has kids from a previous marriage; whether you have entered into a Prenuptial Agreement, to name a few of the important concerns. For those newlyweds for whom this is your first marriage, no kids, and few assets, the minimum documents you should each have in place are: a Will, an Advance Health Care Directive and a Financial Power of Attorney. As you begin to grow your family and your wealth, you will need to name guardians for your children in the event something unexpected should happen to you while your kids are still minors, and you’ll need to have your attorney set up a Living Trust for you to hold title to your more valuable assets in order to avoid probate and provide continuity of management. Call my office today to set up a “Family Wealth Planning Session”. This valuable 2-hour meeting is usually $500.00; however, I will waive that fee for the first 3 people who contact me and mention this article.
