Non-Traditional Families

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.
