Living together out of wedlock can mean anything, especially in court -- unlike married couples, unmarried couples don't automatically inherit or receive protection under the law. Consequently, you must document everything from property ownership and children to wills and other estate plans.
An essential resource for any unmarried couple, Living Together explains:
the legality of living together
naming, legitimizing and raising children
the many types of ownership agreements
relationships with a prior family
getting authorization to make medical decisions for an ill or injured partner
Living Together includes:
a complete overview of important legal documents
instructions to filling out these documents
sample forms
legal agreements as tear-outs and on CD-ROM
The book also contains the latest information on domestic partner status.
