Equality in Estate Planning: A Guide for LGBTQ+ Families
As a law firm committed to inclusive estate planning, I understand the unique considerations that LGBTQ+ individuals and couples face when it comes to safeguarding their legacies. My goal is to provide a tailored approach to estate planning that respects and protects the rights of all individuals.
Recognizing Your Relationship
Whether you are in a partnership or marriage, it's essential to ensure that your legal documents accurately reflect your relationship. Updating your will, trust, and beneficiary designations can help safeguard your assets and provide clarity on how you wish to distribute your wealth in the event of your passing.
Protecting Your Family
For LGBTQ+ couples with children, estate planning takes on added significance. Establishing guardianship arrangements, outlining custody wishes, and providing for the financial well-being of your children are crucial components of a comprehensive estate plan.
Addressing Unique Challenges
From non-biological parent rights to joint asset ownership complexities, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples may face unique challenges while estate planning. I can help you develop strategies to mitigate any potential obstacles that may arise.
Start Planning Today
I believe that everyone deserves peace of mind when it comes to their estate plans. Start by booking a Peace of Mind Planning Session with Attorney Candice McPhillips. This is a 1-hour Zoom meeting where we will review your questionnaire, answer your questions, discuss your options, and review my unique flat fee pricing. Then, if we decide we’re a good fit to work together, we’ll discuss next steps. And if not, that’s fine too! Book your Peace of Mind Planning Session HERE! Mention this blog and I’ll waive the $450 session fee!
