How can adoption impact my estate planning process?
Adoption can significantly influence your estate planning by altering the distribution of assets and the selection of beneficiaries. Legally adopting a child typically grants them the same rights as biological children in inheritance matters. This means they may automatically be included as beneficiaries in your will or trust unless specified otherwise. Including adopted children in your estate plan ensures they are cared for and receive their intended inheritance. It's important to review and possibly update your estate documents after an adoption to reflect these changes, ensuring a clear and conflict-free execution of your wishes.
