Tim Schlesinger

Whenever you experience a major change to your family structure, you want to be sure that your estate plan protects your assets for your loved ones. Whether you have experienced a new marriage or divorce, or have added to your family through surrogacy or other assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), you should consider updating your will or trust to match the new family situation you have now established.

At the law firm of Paule, Camazine & Blumenthal, P.C., located in St. Louis, Missouri, attorney Tim Schlesinger assists clients seeking to draft a new will or modify an existing one after a major life change. With more than 27 years of legal experience, he will use his knowledge and skills of the attorneys at Paule, Camazine & Blumenthal, P.C. to help you protect your assets for the ones you love.

Under Missouri law, a divorce automatically changes the inheritance rights of the divorced spouse. The division of shared marital property, such as a house or pension plan, should be addressed in the divorce, but a person should also consider updating his or her will or trust so as to ensure that the assets are protected for the people he or she chooses to inherit them.

Clients who have used ARTs (surrogacy, egg donation, and other technologies) to start their families face unique situations when it comes to establishing their estate plan. Mr. Schlesinger helps parents address concerns, such as the provision and care of any frozen embryos they may have. He also helps them draw clear lines of inheritance for children born using ARTs who may have biological connections to surrogate mothers or sperm donors.
