Laws regulating the rights and responsibilities for gay and lesbian families are all over the map -- literally!
Rainbow Law's legal documents provide you with the right to:
- Authorize your partner or some other person who is not your legal relative to make medical and financial decisions for you when you are not able to speak for yourself;
- Authorize your partner or some other person who is not your legal relative to have primary rights to visit you in the hospital;
- Choose your partner or some other person who is not your legal relative to make arrangements for your burial, cremation, funeral or memorial services;
- Leave your house and/or other property to your partner or to someone else who is not your legal relative;
- Disinherit someone who would otherwise have legal rights to inherit your property;
- Choose your partner or someone else you trust to raise your minor children, and/or to make medical, educational and financial decisions for them until they are old enough to take care of themselves;
- Make arrangements for the care of your pets;
- And more...
Even if you do live in a state or city that recently passed laws granting marriage rights, civil unions or domestic partner benefits to same-sex couples, there is no guarantee that these laws will remain in effect for the foreseeable future.
Taking care of your family is your greatest responsibility!
