Wills, Trusts & Estates
Estate Planning
Same-sex couples, even if registered or in some other legal relationship, need the added protection of proper estate planning. We can help ensure that you and your loved ones are protected during your lifetime and help you provide for them after your death.
Wills and Trusts
Wills and trusts are important tools for ensuring that your estate planning wishes are carried out.
Trust and Estate Administration
The loss or disability of a life partner can be overwhelming enough without the extra burden of acting as the executor or trustee. We can help you avoid common mistakes and personal liability, as well as help protect your interests from others.
Family Law
Marriage, Civil Unions and Domestic Partnerships
We can advise you of your rights and responsibilities, whether you are getting married, entering a civil union, or registering a domestic partnership.
Parenting
Whether you are just starting a family or already have children, we can advise you about your rights & responsibilities toward the children in your family.
Divorce, Dissolution and Termination
We can you protect you and your loved ones, should you or your partner decide to end your marriage, civil union or domestic partnership.
Elder Law
As same-sex couples age, they face the same problems as other aging couples, but without the built-in support that marriage provides.
Guardianship & Conservatorship
If you or your partner become incapacitated, you need to ensure that someone will take care of you. We can help you preplan for disability with advance directives, and assist you with obtaining and managing a guardianship or conservatorship, should one become necessary.
Real Estate Transfers & Closings
Whether you and your partner are buying your first home together or transfering property between you, we can assist you with your real estate closing and retitling property.
