As blended families become increasingly prevalent, estate planning has grown more complex and more prone to dispute. Competing interests between partners, former spouses and stepchildren can create significant legal and emotional challenges if not carefully managed. 

For practitioners, navigating these dynamics requires a clear understanding of evolving legal rights, as well as practical strategies to minimise conflict and protect client intentions. 

This seminar will discuss: 

  • The eligibility and treatment of stepchildren under wills and estate provisions in Victoria.  
  • Legal status and entitlements of stepchildren in family provision claims.  
  • Practical strategies to reduce the risk of disputes and contested estates.  
  • Drafting considerations to reflect complex family structures and competing interests.  
  • Key lessons from recent cases involving blended families and estate challenges.  

This seminar will equip lawyers with practical tools to deliver clear, strategic advice in one of the most nuanced areas of estate planning.
