Why Marriage is a Good Idea for Unmarried Partners

estate planning attorney Ann Arbor

End of life or estate planning is absolutely essential for unmarried partners. For example, if you’re married and don’t have will or trust and your spouse dies, the law provides that the surviving spouse will wind up with all or most of the decedent’s estate.
  If you’re not married and have no estate plan, it will be a mess. The law will direct that your estate will pass to your children, if any, then your parents or your siblings. Your surviving partner will receive nothing unless you have made appropriate arrangements prior to your death.

The number of unmarried partners living together in the United States is at least 17 million, which translates to 34 million individuals or approximately 7% of the total adult population.
  The number continues to grow. Estimates from the Current Population Survey’s Annual Social and Economic Supplement show unmarried parties are now older, more racially diverse, more educated and more likely to earn higher wages. There’s little doubt that the arrangement is socially acceptable, however, unmarried partners face a number of legal differences from their married counterparts.
