JoeMyGod points out that the popular "For Dummies" line of how-to books next month will release a title aimed at same-sex couples looking to negotiate the often complicated legalities of protecting their relationship and property.
Michael and I have already spent $$$ putting trusts and directives in place. Wish we'd had this some years ago.
From the book description:
Same Sex Legal Kit For Dummies is a practical, plain-English guide to the legal information and guidance lesbian and gay couples need—from making practical decisions about living together and obtaining domestic partner benefits, to making medical decisions, taking care of each other's finances when one partner is incapacitated, leaving property to each other, having and raising children, and much more.
- Discusses power of attorney, health directives, and real estate and personal property ownership
- Covers considerations for bank accounts, investments, and estate planning
- The book's accompanying CD-ROM includes dozens of helpful tools, forms, and letters
- Brings you up to speed on the latest in civil unions, workplace rights, rental agreements and leases, and much more
The information contained in Same Sex Legal Kit For Dummies is invaluable for anyone in a same-sex relationship who needs to grasp the laws and regulations that apply to their unique situation.
