Yesterday's issue of The Street included an article by Michael Katzan, featuring interviews with Rainbow Law and other Estate and Financial Planning experts:We are happy to see The Street educate around this vitally important issue."According to the American Civil Liberties Union, there are more than 1,000 federal and state benefits offered only to married couples. And 28 states currently define marriage strictly as a union between a man and a woman, according to the Heritage Foundation, a conservative organization that opposes gay marriage.
These legal definitions prevent same-sex couples from enjoying the same tax, inheritance and employment benefits as married couples. "If someone wants to provide for their partner what the law doesn't give them, they need to make up for it with estate planning," says Tanya Harvey, an estate-planning attorney in the Washington, D.C., office of Bryan Cave."
Estate planning is not about death and dying -- It is about life, love and taking care of your family. There is no reason to put it off -- find out what you can do!
Read the article. You'll be glad you did!
