Planning for the GLBT Community
If a member of the GLBT community fails to properly plan, the result can be devastating to his or her partner and family. Having no estate plan, or relying upon a Will, Joint Tenancy, or Tenancy in Common as an estate plan, is tantamount to giving up control of one's estate and management of one's well-being in times of incapacity.
This need for an estate plan is critical in case an accident or illness renders the partner incapable of making decisions or managing his of her affairs. Without a proper estate plan, the other partner could be legally precluded from having any role in the decision-making of a partner's care, managing his or her affairs, or even having access to the incapacitated partner.
Our law firm strongly believes that a wisely drafted, carefully executed estate plan is the critical component of an individual or a family's wealth management. Our firm's guiding principle is to provide families with quality estate planning services tailored to each client's specific needs and goals. We are familiar with the unique challenges facing members of the GLBT community and our attorneys would be happy to consult with you and develop a plan to protect your estate and your loved ones.
