In honor of pride month, we are sharing weekly estate planning tips and info that is specific for our LGBTQ community... 

BUT IT’S PRIDE MONTH, WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH AN ESTATE PLAN?

Well, frankly, it has EVERYTHING to do with Pride Month! Think about it… the harsh truth is that not everyone respects your relationship. LGBTQ couples are particularly vulnerable to bias and prejudice if decisions about what you would want are left to be made by a judge or an unsupportive “next of kin.” We are talking about tough issues THIS MONTH in particular because we want to educate you about the legal pitfalls of not having planned for the unexpected (or the inevitable).

Being married certainly helps from a legal perspective but let’s face it, it is not a guarantee that your wishes will be fulfilled. And for those LGBTQ couples who are not married, the effects of not having an estate plan can be devastating. If you haven’t seen Bridegroom, please watch it.

If it sounds like we are trying to scare you, WE ARE. As sad as it is, even in our ever evolving, progressive community, this is a familiar reality for many LGBTQ families. Please do not let it be true of yours.

In short, estate planning can involve digging into unpleasant topics at first. None of us like to think about our incapacity or mortality. Sometimes it even involves opening up old wounds you’ve worked to get beyond. But just like anything that is good for you, it may hurt a little at first, but it’s worth it in the long run. And we will help you every step of the way.
