Sue is very caring and never put a time limit on our meetings. Besides the legal planning, she had other great advice. We have lots of animals – ducks, cats, dogs – and were worried about their future if we both passed away at the same time.
Sue suggested a local animal rescue group that has now agreed to look after our brood if needed.

For unmarried couples and domestic partners
Unmarried couples and domestic partners share the same bond married couples do but not in the eyes of the law. We know how to offer you that legal protection.
We begin by getting to know you, learning about your goals, retirement plans, how you want to own and
manage property together, etc. After that, we’ll come up with solutions for you, such as:
-
protect your property rights with a property agreement, clarifying each person’s financial obligations, how to divide or distribute the property if one person passes away, wants to sell or leave
-
protect your personal assets with a partnership agreement. Similar to a pre-nup, a partnership agreement defines such issues as how to divide up the furniture, who gets the pets and support obligations in the event of a dissolution
-
protect your parental rights with a parenting agreement which defines your parenting plan and custody arrangements for your children in the event of a split
We’re passionate about working with domestic partners and unmarried couples. We enjoy being creative and strategic … putting all the puzzle pieces together in non-traditional ways … to make sure you are protected now and in the future. Call or email us to set up an appointment.
Services we provide:
property agreements • partnership agreements • parenting agreements • real estate services • planning for beneficiary designations
