Newlywed Estate Planning Tips from our Lawyer in Raleigh NC

Create or update your will - If you, or your spouse, have a will, it will need to be updated to reflect this major life change. If you don’t have one, now’s the time to create a will that covers both you and your spouse. Without a will, your state’s laws will determine how your assets are passed on.
You may also want to designate who inherits assets should something happen to both of you. If you have surviving parents, siblings or other family members that you want to name, doing so can prevent problems later on. To learn more, visit with our initial blog post for more information, here!
Get life insurance - Do you have a policy? If so, make sure that your spouse is named as the beneficiary if you want them to receive benefits should you pass away. If you do not have a policy, you should consider getting one in order to protect your spouse should something happen to you. If you take on higher expenses as a couple, that one of you could not manage alone, this can help protect the surviving spouse should something happen. You can also check into combining your car insurance in order to save money on the policy.
