After Amendment One Webinars | Living Trust Law Firm

As you have no doubt read in our previous e-mails and from other sources, the effects of Amendment One threaten to undermine estate planning for unmarried couples. However, it doesn?t have to if the planning is done correctly. While we don?t know exactly what the effects of Amendment One will be, the focus in the courts will be how the term ?domestic legal union? applies to legal documents.

There are ways that many attorneys structure documents that are just begging for a challenge under Amendment One, and there are ways to draft documents properly to get around these potential challenges. Because of the overwhelming number of calls and e-mails we have been getting, we will be holding a few webinars to discuss these important issues and outline the kinds of planning options still open to unmarried partners.

If you are already a trust client of ours, then your documents are just fine but we still invite you to attend the webinar. We also strongly encourage you to forward the webinar information to other partner couples you know in North Carolina, whether they have done estate planning or not. I have reviewed far too many partner legal documents, even those created by other attorneys, that leave room for challenges under Amendment One. You, your friends, and your family should be sure that your documents are the best they can be in this post-Amendment One legal environment. The webinars will be:

Thursday 5/17 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Wednesday 5/23 at 11 a.m.

Please note that these webinars are not open to other attorneys. I do offer a two day course on domestic partner estate planning for attorneys and other professionals, and other attorneys are welcome to contact my office for more information on these courses.

I hope that you will be able to attend this webinar, and I look forward to helping partners reach their planning goals until Amendment One is repealed and beyond.
