Estate Planning
: Florida Estate Planning Lawyer BlogGay and Lesbian benefits involve preparing living trusts
By David M. Goldman
Jacksonville Estate Planning Attorneys working in Jacksonville Beach watch for Florida issues about gay and same-sex partner benefits.
More and more Florida counties are making positive steps by providing health care and other benefits for same-sex couples. Central Florida's publicly owned Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) now offers Florida Domestic Partnership health care benefits for the domestic partners of their employees. Some nationwide companies that do business in Florida likewise provide same-sex partner benefits.
Despite the fact that Florida does not recognize gay marriage, newly-released U.S. Census figures, show nearly 6,800 same sex couples call the Sunshine State home. That's based on how many gay couples checked the "husband" or "wife" options. The Census bureau also reported an estimate of the number of same sex couples in Florida, both married and unmarried, at 48,456.
Gay couples who reside in Jacksonville Beach are wise to make their own benefits. A Jacksonville Estate Planning Lawyer can provide many options so you can provide benefits for your partner. Estate Planning can consist of having a will drawn up, a revocable living trust prepared,and other legal documents which will give your loved-ones the protection and security they need.
A Jacksonville Florida Living Trust is used to avoid the probate process and possible will contests from disapproving family members. A trust is set up and managed during your lifetime and avoids the need for a guardianship over your property in the event you become incapacitated. A trust must be funded and titled in specific ways to be effective, but the benefits are many.
Meet with a Jacksonville Beach lawyer sensitive to the unique issues that same-sex couples and unmarried partners face.
