Why do I need an estate plan?

Answer

Because in most states, you and your partner have no legal relationship to one another.  And often, the partners of gay men and lesbians are not treated with respect by family members when their significant other dies.  And because the law is unsettled in this area, partners are often forced to wage long and costly legal battles -- which they frequently lose -- to try to assert their decision making and inheritance rights.
