Sullivan Taylor & Gumina

While domestic partners do not enjoy the same privileges and legal advantages afforded married couples, many of the same benefits can be achieved through alternate means. At the law firm of Sullivan Taylor & Gumina, our attorneys explain what sorts of contractual relationships domestic partners can enter into in order to secure the custody of children, transfer property upon death, arrange for healthcare benefits, and other issues. In each case, documenting the relationship between the parties involved and developing private contracts early on is essential. We can evaluate your current situation, discuss the legal options available to you, and indicate what legal steps need to be taken to achieve your long term goals.

Jill M. Metz & Associates

A domestic partnership agreement is a contract between gay and lesbian couples that creates rights and obligations about property matters. It lays out each life partner's financial obligations and contributions toward jointly and separately owned property, from mutual funds and retirement accounts to your family home. If your partner is ill or hospitalized, it guarantees you access to your mutual home and property and protects you from those who would accuse you of theft of these assets. If you and your partner should choose to divorce, it makes the separation of your property easier.
