South Florida Domestic Partner Estate Planning Attorney
Representing Gay, Lesbian, and Other Unmarried Couples
Toll Free: 1-888-441-2007
Unmarried domestic partners have unique concerns regarding their estate planning. For example, they do not have the unlimited marital deduction for estate taxes because they are not married.
The laws typically take into account traditional relationships (blood and marriage) when allocating assets and custody in the absence of a will, which still often do not reflect the desires of the deceased. Unmarried domestic partners, whether straight, gay, or lesbian, including elderly couples who remain unmarried for social security or medical benefits, are not even considered by the law when disposing of an estate or appointing a guardian for a person who dies intestate (without a will).
If you are unmarried and in a domestic relationship, you should seek an experienced estate planning lawyer to assist you in establishing a comprehensive estate plan that encompasses providing for those you care about and for the care of your child or children. No one expects the unexpected, but you can, and should, prepare for it.
