The lack of probate rights extends to children of your domestic partner, even if you raised them together. A child of two domestic partners may have legal rights to inherit property if you … [Read more...] about Florida Law and Unmarried Domestic Partners: Part 3 of 3

Florida Law and Unmarried Domestic Partners: Part 1 of 3

December 28, 2015 by Robert Kulas. Leave a Comment

In several states, state legislatures enacted laws allowing same-sex partners and opposite-sex domestic partners to register their partnerships and receive some legal rights and protections.

It's amazing how wrong movies, books, and television shows can get it when it comes to the law.
