 This is Elisabetta, my youngest grandchild. Like those of you with grandkids, I love spoiling them a bit whenever I can. I'm a state planning attorney Hollis Logue. Here's something that might surprise you. The vast majority of estate plans I've reviewed recently unwittingly fail to protect grandchildren. I know it isn't intentional, but most estate plans probably your estate plan as well risk omitting your grandchildren when something happens to your children. There is nothing in most estate plans to see to it that your grandchildren don't get left out. Let me explain. Say you've passed away. Your kids got what you wanted them to get through your living trust. You believe that it will trickle down to your grandkids eventually when your child passes away. But that's a huge gamble. There's nothing in place to make sure that what's left over from your child's inheritance ever gets down to your grandchildren. There's no pipeline of control. What you've given your child will likely go to his or her spouse. And that spouse can remarry. Your grandchildren are left out. Don't you think your old estate plan needs a fresh look?
