Gay
Last Will and Testament
To
ensure that your property distribution wishes are recognized and
are legally enforceable, you should consult with an attorney to
execute a last will and testament. Without a valid written will
that states your specific wishes, many state intestacy laws automatically
dictate that your biological family will inherit all of your property
and possessions.
A valid
will is essential for lesbians and gay men who want to provide financial
security and give cherished possessions to or provide financial
security for their partners or other loved ones, or to donate money
or property to gay and lesbian community organizations or charitable
institutions. Wills can also address any burial or funeral preferences
that you may have. Additionally, a will that reflects careful estate
planning can also help minimize estate and gift taxes.
