GAY, BISEXUAL LESBIAN & TRANSSEXUAL LAW What is GBL&T Law? Gay and Lesbian persons (together with Transsexuals) have the same legal concerns everyone in modern day life have, plus additional needs which an attorney who is knowledgeable in this area of legal practice can best respond to. One of the goals of GBLT Law is to mirror the rights and opportunities the law automatically provides heterosexual persons and married couples. >'•• i Aftor a personal fegal consultation, a couple may wish to sign carefully drafted Mutual Wills^ and other legal Instruments, to •J. insure the distribution of property after death according to their own wishes, rather than by default under state law to someone other than your domestic partner. Especially important is the ability to participate in health care decisions for one's partner and provide for unrestricted visitation in a personalized Hssfth Care Proxy. A Durable Power of Attorney might also be prudent to assure control, if ever necessary, of the financial life of a disabled partner A Domestic Partnership Agrssment should also be discussed because the law does not provide a ready-made procedure for dissolving gay and lesbian relationships. An experienced and supporth^e attorney will use these tools to help you protect your relationship.
