It’s More Important than Ever to Understand
Estate Planning for Same-Sex and Unmarried Couples

(By the way, this involves more than just changing your forms!)

After the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which brought marriage equality to all 50 states and to the federal government, the question still arises for estate planners, “Isn’t estate planning for same-sex couples now the same as it is for opposite-sex married couples?”

You might be surprised to learn the many ways it still differs, from the evolution of gender and parentage, to the availability of the California state domestic partnership for opposite sex couples under age 62.  Knowing these nuances could make the difference in your practice, not only for your work with same-sex couples, but also for your estate planning and administration (probate and trust) for all of your clients regardless of marital or domestic partner status.

While modifying some of your form documents could be enough for some situations, there is more… if you want to do it right, create a real profit center for your practice, and build a reputation for effective, thoughtful planning for everyone (not just your same-sex and unmarried couples).

Don’t reinvent the wheel. Learn from a renowned estate planning attorney, who specializes in estate planning for same-sex and unmarried couples and in the LGBTQ community, including what steps you need to take to successfully build this lucrative and intellectually stimulating practice niche.
