Until gay marriages are legally recognized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, there are particular problems faced by Pennsylvania same-sex couples, as well as some advantages and opportunities made possible by not being legally married.
Jeremy A. Wechsler, your estate planning and asset protection attorney, is intimately familiar with all aspects of planning for same sex couples, including estate taxes, inheritance taxes, gift taxes, income taxes, second parent adoption, domestic partnership and other agreements, government and employee benefits and long-term care, as well as handling separation custody and "gay divorce.”
Our Same-Sex Law/LGBT Law Services Include: Estate Planning and Wealth Preservation; Advance Health Care Directives; Healthcare Proxy; Power of Attorney; Wills; Revocable Living Trusts; Domestic Partnership Agreements; Joint Purchase and Savings Agreements; Guardianship; Child Custody, Access and Support; Divorce and Separation; Mediation; Insurance Law.
Did you know that Pennsylvania has a "Defense of Marriage Act" (DOMA), which means that if you are two men or two women married in another state, Pennsylvania will not recognize your marriage? That means when one spouse dies, the Pennsylvania inheritance tax is 15%! Jeremy A. Wechsler can help gay families in the Philadelphia area solve this problem.
