In Palm Springs, many of the individuals and couples we work with are part of the LGBTQ community. For those with unmarried partners, estate planning often plays a particularly important role. While marriage provides certain automatic legal protections, unmarried partners do not receive the same default rights under California law.
Without a living trust and coordinated estate plan, an unmarried partner may not have clear authority to manage assets, handle financial matters, or carry out your wishes. This can create stress, delays, and uncertainty at times when clarity and stability matter most.
A living trust allows you to intentionally name your partner and provide legal authority where the law does not automatically do so. It helps ensure your partner can manage trust assets, maintain financial continuity, and avoid unnecessary disputes or court involvement.
We take the time to understand your relationships, priorities, and concerns, and we help you build a living trust plan that reflects the life you have chosen and the people you trust.
The goal is peace of mind. With the right planning in place, you can feel confident that your partner will be protected and supported. We are here to help you create a plan that provides that security.
