Over time, relationships and financial situations change. Because of this, any couple in a long term relationship or marriage must make changes to keep up with the times. The state of Florida does not recognize any specific changes that occur while you are already married. Florida only identifies certain ways to treat and distribute property and finances accumulated during a marriage or when a marriage unfortunately ends. If you are part of a newly legally recognized same-sex marriage in Florida, it would be to your partnerships mutual benefit to establish an after-marriage union agreement. By meeting with the attorney’s at LOVE’S PARACHUTE, you will be provided with careful and compassionate advice that can help you in your marriage. Unlike traditional processes of Pre-Nuptial and Post-Nuptial agreements, LOVE’S PARACHUTE’S process of identifying how your assets and liabilities will be characterized under Florida Law in case of dissolution of marriage is completed using more collaborative methods to take the negative stereotypes away from traditional pre and post nups.

There are a variety of different reasons why an after-marriage union agreement can be helpful in your relationship. Whether you or your partner is the sole owner of a piece of property or you wish to keep an inheritance under your name, there are several different circumstances that may require an after-marriage union agreement. In addition, if your marriage is not doing well, an after-marriage union agreement will help you separate important assets and determine a plan of action that can help save your marriage.

The term “Pre-nuptial Agreement” usually makes people very uncomfortable. Even the idea of bringing up a pre-nuptial agreement seems awkward and anxiety inducing. Instead, the team at LOVE’S PARACHUTE uses the term “Union Agreement” to signify what we are actually discussing rather than what you see in the movies and on TV; the union of two people in love. A union agreement will benefit you and your spouse to determine how the couple will define equality in the relationship, establish a value on property brought into the relationship, protect each others financial assets obtained prior to marriage, protect gifts, inheritances, ownerships in a business or to protect yourself from your partners pre-marriage debt or other liabilities.

While the common understanding of the pre-nup process is a negative one, LOVE’S PARACHUTE believes that the process of forming a union agreement can be a loving one which can pave the way toward a strong and long lasting marriage.

By having a mutually constructed union agreement, you will be able to have a clear and well thought out and agreed upon understanding of your relationship. These agreements are made to strengthen your marriage. For many LGBT couples that have been in a relationship for a long period of time, there’s a good chance that you have accumulated a wide range of different assets and financial obligations. Whether it’s an accrued debt or property owned that has amassed over the years, it is extremely important to plan for your futures. In addition, if children are involved, they need to be protected should something happen to your marriage.

For couples that are just starting their lives together, a union agreement is perfect for identifying specific objectives to ensure that both parties to the marriage are being transparent and open with each other.

Although deciding on how a person’s assets will be distributed after death is not something we think about every day. However, we all know there are only two guarantees in life, death and taxes. While difficult, dealing with these realities is an important part of any relationship. Because of its importance, taking the time with your loved one and the legal team at LOVE’S PARACHUTE to help create a wills and trusts in the present will save a lot of sorrow in the future. At LOVE’S PARACHUTE, we will work with you to help you through the often complicated process in order to ensure that your family is taken care of should the worst occur.

While a will and trust are somewhat different from one another, they exist to accomplish one goal, to ensure that your money and property are distributed properly in the event if your death. A will identifies your desire of who will take care of your children, inherit any property or assets that you might have and to select a person to manage the disbursement of your assets. On the other hand, a living trust is a specific tool that is used for financial planning before your death. A trust is established through a will to set out conditions and limitations on distributions of money and property to those named in the will.

If you are an LGBT couple, creating a will is extremely important in order to ensure that your assets are disbursed properly. Because certain laws are continually changing in regards to same-sex marriages, a will is a critical piece of insurance for your family. For instance, if you get married in Florida and decide to move to a state that does not recognize LGBT marriages and then pass away, there’s a good chance that your spouse will not have any rights to your assets or property. Additionally, a will may be the determining factor that prevents your immediate family members from obtaining control of your property or assets at the time of death.

For LGBT couples, a living trust is a perfect way for your family to receive financial security. In fact, the goal of a living trust is to avoid the probate process for your assets, real estate, bank accounts and personal property. At LOVE’S PARACHUTE, our team of attorney’s posses a wide range of different experiences when it comes to creating and implementing a living trust that protects you and your family at all times.

Without question, planning for the future is no easy task. On top of that, many people try to avoid estate planning until it’s absolutely necessary. Because of this, it’s extremely important to understand that estate planning is even more important for same-sex couples than it is for opposite-sex couples. With LGBT laws that are continually changing, it’s highly recommended that same-sex couples create an estate plan as soon as possible and update it regularly. At LOVE’S PARACHUTE, we will provide you with an effective map for estate planning, along with ensuring that your estate plan is always up-to-date.

The two most important components of estate planning are wills and trusts. While this is true, there are still other parts of estate planning that are extremely important. For instance, a living trust is the most common tool used to avoid probate, but some of the other tools used to avoid this process include transfer-on-death and joint ownership accounts.

Another area of estate planning is offering direction regarding end-of-life care options. Based on this, it’s critical that you and your spouse should have heath care instructions that identify what specific types of treatment are acceptable, and who has the power to make these decisions if you are incapable. If there is a health care directive in place, doctors will not question your relationship status.

Not stopping there, LGBT couples should create a plan that gives each other or someone else, durable power of attorney when it comes to your finances. Similar to a heath care directive, having a durable power for attorney will not question your relationship if you become debilitated.

The final part estate planning for an LGBT couple is creating a directive on how you would like your body handled when you pass away and what you want at your funeral. This specific outline will stop your spouse from being confronted during the grieving period.
