Estate Planning Mistakes - Number Eighteen


Do not fail to amend your Will after a birth or adoption. Under Pennsylvania law, you can disinherit your children. Unlike a spouse, you are not required to leave your children anything. However, in order to avoid the inadvertent disinheritance of a child, Pennsylvania law provides for certain rights to children.

If your child is born or adopted after you made your Will then such child will stay be able to inherit. It may not be fully what you intended. That is why it is important for you to avoid these pitfalls/mistakes.
