No two families are alike. Some are blending households, others are planning for aging parents, and many are navigating modern dynamics like unmarried partnerships, dual citizenship, or caring for someone with special needs. A thoughtful estate plan accounts for those relationships, protects the people you love, and gives you control over what happens next.
