At the Nawrocki Center for Elder and Family Law, we understand the estate planning needs of domestic partners.

Planning for the Future … Dealing with the Present

Domestic partners need to rely on trusts – not wills – to transfer property after the death of a partner. Wills are easier to contest. A blood-related family member may claim property despite a will.

Financial powers of attorney and medical powers of attorney are essential if the partners want to be able to make decisions for each other. Without the powers of attorney, a domestic partner has no legal standing. You will also need HIPAA medical release forms so that you have access to your partner’s medical information when necessary.

Protect your partner and protect yourself. Who do you want making decisions for you if you cannot make your own decisions? Who do you want to have your property? Talk to a domestic partner estate planning attorney at the Nawrocki Center. Make sure you have the documents and legal entities in place to meet your wishes.
