What does a traditional family look like? There is no one answer to this question. Modern families are composed of different people including a mom a step dad and kids, a mom a dad grandparents and kids, one parent and kids, two moms and kids, two dads and kids, etc. The combination of family members making our families today is truly limitless. Theres is no such thing as a non-traditional family. All there is is loving people sharing a common bond called the family unit.
So why a page dedicated to Non-Traditional Families if there is no such thing? There are over 5 million unmarried couples in the US today, each of which have unique situations and financial planning needs. The reason for this page is that while our families function very well, the financial and tax system does not accommodate most non traditional families. We are stuck in a system that only makes things easy for the traditional family where there is one mom, one dad and children.
Common Concerns
Estate Planning: Who inherits what? What documents do you need to ensure you don't accidentally disinherit your loved ones? What are the tax consequences?
Insurance Needs: How much insurance do you need? Will an insurance company deny your beneficiary because there is no insurable interest according to them?
Taxes: How can you save in taxes when the system does not recognize your family as a family unit?
Elderly Parents: How do you plan for your parent's care financially?
These are only a few of the issues that face today's non-traditional families. Until the financial systems recognize that families have changed, you need to ensure that your loved ones are protected and taken cared of in the event something happens to you.
