Equal or Equitable Division of Your Estate

When you have us prepare your estate plan, you might ask us to arrange for an equal or equitable division of the assets among your children. Of course, the issue can come up in a variety of contexts. Maybe you’re disinheriting one child. Or maybe the division in your case is among nieces and nephews — or even among friends. How much of your decision-making is focused on whether your beneficiaries might have hurt feelings, or might disagree among themselves? And what is the difference between an “equal” or “equitable” division? Join us for this podcast episode, while we discuss the division choices facing our clients.
