Georgia Domestic Partnership Agreements

Experienced Georgia Family Law Attorneys

In Georgia, it is an unfortunate fact that many of the rights and privileges awarded to heterosexual couples are denied to gay and lesbian couples. If you are living in a same-sex relationship, it is crucial to protect the ones you love.

Despite any long-term commitment you may have with your partner, if you are not legally married under Georgia law (impossible for same-sex couples) and do not arrange proper estate planning documents or a domestic partnership agreement, your assets will be distributed according to Georgia’s statutory guidelines, which may -- but often do not -- reflect your true wishes.

If you are in a long-term same-sex relationship, even if you think that you do not have much to leave, wouldn’t it be better that you be the one to choose how your assets are distributed instead of leaving that important decision to Georgia courts? Some of the options our Atlanta domestic partnership attorneys can assist you with are the creation  of mutual powers of attorney, reciprocal wills, living wills, child custody and visitation rights agreements, and the actual  domestic partnership agreement (similar in many ways to a pre-nuptial agreement).
