While great strides are being made in gay marriage in New England, partners there should not be fooled into believing that getting married means the law will now automatically give them all of the planning results they wish. Far too often, the rights granted with a marriage certificate all far short of expectations. (For more information, download the free e-book at www.gaymarriagealternative.com).

The details are extremely important, and you can’t depend on the law to do exactly what you want. These two truths were highlighted in a recent U.S. Supreme Court case titled Kennedy versus DuPont where a huge but common life and estate planning mistake took center stage. After hearing this, run, don’t walk, to your financial advisor and insurance agent to check out your beneficiary forms. (For a complimentary e-book discussing written plans and other partner protection planning issues, please go to www.gaymarriagealternative.com).

With the release of Mr. Marsocci’s second book on partner protection planning, the question most often asked is “why are you doing this?” As part of promoting The Gay Marriage Alternative as a free e-book, Mr. Marsocci wrote a letter to several bloggers with an advance copy, and he discussed just that. (Please go to www.gaymarriagealternative.com to download the free e-book).

There are many banks and financial institutions working with domestic partners in retitling their accounts as joint with a right of survivorship to help their clients bring their assets together, provide joint control, and also provide a mechanism for inheritance without probate court entanglements. While laudable partner planning goals, using joint property with a right of survivorship has huge long-term tax consequences that will eventually lead to malpractice claims against the banks.

As we move firmly into a period of economic bailouts and stimulus packages overlapped with our current tax season, it is important for domestic partners to understand the nuances of certain tax rules. While there is an abundance of simple “solutions” out there that may seem effective, they can do more harm than good and cause more tax grief than limited resources can bear. Having an effective partner plan can go a long way.
