Planning for Same-Sex Couples

Ohio and federal law penalize same-sex couples. The gay community is an underserved population that is in need of planning. Our goal is to identify and break down the barriers that prevent people from proper legal planning. We counsel individuals and couples on how a domestic partnership agreement can protect them and preserve their relationship, on designing a common-sense financial strategy for the same-sex couple, on providing estate planning for the unique needs of same-sex couples, on second-parent adoption, retirement benefits, and taxes.
