Maryland Counsel for Unmarried Cohabitants
At the present time, family law is rapidly evolving for unmarried cohabitants. Whether you are involved in a committed same-sex relationship, or you and your partner simply have no interest in the institution of marriage, you may still want to create a formal framework to protect one another's rights now and in the future.
At the Law Offices of Cynthia M. Lifson in Towson and Columbia, our highly experienced lawyer offers a personalized and client-focused practice designed to help you and your partner create a legal contract for living together and for managing health care and inheritance decisions. With more than 15 years of experience, we understand the issues and concerns committed couples need to address, and we can help you build a plan for the future.
A Plan to Protect Couples and Unmarried Cohabitants
The institution of marriage provides a pathway for individuals to formalize their legal relationship with one another. For unmarried straight couples or same-sex couples, there is no framework, no safety net, that clearly defines legal rights.
Our office can help you build that plan. Along with your attorney, you will work toward creating an agreement that addresses:
- Estate planning
- Real estate ownership
- Property distribution
- Custody rights
- Inheritance issues
Few things are as sad to see as someone who has lost his or her partner and is facing the added burden of potentially losing a home and their future because no legally recognized agreement was in place. You and your partner can choose to avoid this nightmare scenario.
Our attorney, Cynthia Lifson, can help.
