Question: I'm a 63-year-old married man with two adult children, but I am also living a double life. I have a secret second family that my first family knows nothing about. I've worked hard over the years to amass a fortune — a sizable nest egg, two vacation properties, family heirlooms — and I love both families dearly.
I want to ensure everyone is taken care of after I'm gone, but I'm not ready to confess my secret. I know I need to update my will, but I'm terrified that the legal process will expose my second family to my first. What should I do?
