According
to studies, blended families as well as large families are more
likely to experience family tension when the estate is being
executed. This is most likely because parents who have gone through
divorce are less likely to talk to their children about their plans
of dividing the estate. Children also do not communicate with their
parents about the estate.
This
family tension also prevents the members from actually bringing up
the topic of estate distribution for fear that it can lead to a fight
or a confrontation.
Testators
must first recognize the effects of family tension when it comes to
the execution of the estate. There might be a need to get the help of

come to terms with the distribution of the estate.
One
of the things a testator must do is to not sweep family issues under
the rug. After drafting the will, the testator should organize a
family meeting to discuss about the contents of the will and why the
testator came up with such a decision as to how the estate is
divided. This also allows the family members to ask their questions
to voice out their concerns and grievances. The testator can use this
opportunity to answer these questions and address the grievances so
that he/she can still make changes to the will when necessary.
