Wisconsin Lawyers Provide LGBT Life and Estate Planning Services
At The Law Center for Children & Families, we understand that LGBT partners and their children are often treated more like contractual partners than what they really are: life partners and families. As attorneys, we are familiar with the legal challenges facing non-traditional families. We can help you create a life and estate plan to best fit your situation. Our lawyers are dedicated to finding creative solutions and options for securing and protecting same-sex families and their assets. Contact a lawyer at our office today to learn about securing your family.
Life and Estate Planning for LGBT Families
Regardless of the form your family takes, we can help you with life and estate planning concerns specific to your needs, including:
- Wills
- Trusts
- Beneficiary designations
- Property titles
- Estate and gift tax planning
- Guardianships of minor children
- Powers of attorney for health care and finances
- Living wills
- HIPAA releases
- Healthcare facility visitation documents
- Domestic partnership, commitment and cohabitation agreements
- Co-parenting agreements
- Joint property ownership planning
- Name changes
In addition, we are experienced in issues that must be considered in non-marital life and estate planning. For example, have you considered:
- How to avoid jeopardizing the legal status of the non-biological or non-adoptive parent to the children in life and estate planning documents?
- How to create an estate plan that includes life insurance and other assets to minimize court involvement for your partner and children after your death?
- How to position you or your partner so you are treated as "next of kin" in a health crisis?
- How to manage your assets to avoid gift taxes and other unintended consequences?
