Blended family structures have become a defining feature of modern estate planning practice. Second marriages, adult interdependent partnerships, stepchildren, and continuing obligations to former spouses or partners frequently give rise to competing claims that strain traditional estate planning approaches. In this environment, domestic contracts, most commonly prenuptial, postnuptial, cohabitation, and separation agreements, have assumed an increasingly central role. This presentation emphasizes coordination, risk identification, and practical drafting considerations in respect of domestic contracts from the perspective of estate planning practitioners.

This on-demand program was originally presented as an in-person program titled Estate Planning for Blended Families on April 22, 2026. Total running time is 1 hour.
