Do you want to include children born outside of marriage as "children" or "issue"?

In your Will you may often use the word "child" or "children". Lawyers tend to use the word "issue" to describe children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. When you use these words in your will do you want to include or exclude a child born to parents who are not married or a child of your relative's partner when that relative is not a biological/adoptive parent? These portions of a will are becoming more and more complex and vital as family structures become more complicated. A wills and estate planning lawyer will need very clear instructions in this regard.
