Estate planning is important for everyone - but it’s especially critical for non-traditional and unmarried couples. Without the right legal documents, your partner may be left out of key decisions or may not receive anything when you pass away.
We start by getting to know you - your values, your goals, how you share life together, and what kind of future you want to build. Then, we help you create a customized plan to protect your relationship, your property, and your peace of mind.
Sharing property together? Clarify who owns what, how finances are shared, and what happens if one partner passes away, moves out, or wants to sell.
Think of this like a prenup—tailored for your partnership. It can cover how to divide belongings, care for pets, and define support arrangements if the relationship ends.
Make sure your partner can act on your behalf if you’re ever unable to make medical or financial decisions on your own.
Ensure your partner inherits from your estate and is included in end-of-life decisions according to your wishes.
While estate planning is important for married couples, it is arguably more important for unmarried couples and domestic partners. Without proper planning in place, your partner may be shut out of the decision making process if you lack capacity to make your own decisions and may not receive anything upon your death.
We’re passionate about working with unmarried couples and domestic partners. We enjoy being creative and strategic … putting all the puzzle pieces together in non-traditional ways … to make sure you are protected now and in the future.
