Singles and Unmarrieds

State law and federal tax laws support certain automatic legal and societal "presumptions" for married couples which permit one spouse to act for another or to receive certain assets upon the retirement or death of a spouse, in addition to tax advantages.

Singles and unmarried couples don't automatically have those options but can provide for similar protections to ensure that their intentions are carried out during disability and at death.

Counseling to determine the best combination of legal tools is crucial to make sure single or unmarried clients are adequately protected. Without the proper tools, singles and unmarrieds must resort to courts for legal authority to handle another's affairs. HAHN & POLLOCK, LLC counsels on these issues.

LOVING WITHOUT A LICENSE: An Estate Planning Survival Guide for Umarried Couples and Same Sex Partners explains some of the unique planning challenges of unmarried partners. See www.lovingwithoutalicense for further information.

SPECIAL BOOKS FOR SPECIAL PLANNING NEEDS

Candace is co-author with Flordia attorney, Peggy Hoyt, of 2 books: SPECIAL PEOPLE, SPECIAL PLANNING: Creating a Safe Legal Haven for Families with Special Needs and LOVING WITHOUT A LICENSE: An Estate Planning Survival Guide to Unmarried Couples and Same Sex Partners. Traditional estate planning approaches can produce unintended consequences for these two groups of people. The books outline the important factors that come to bear on the lives of these two groups--during health, disability, and at death.
