Estate Planning Attorneys For Gay And Lesbian Couples

At the Law Office of Cheryl Bucker, P.A., our Florida attorneys are passionate about supporting the needs and goals of same-sex couples in Lighthouse Point, Pompano Beach, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and the surrounding areas. We have more than 30 years of estate planning experience and can help you create an estate plan that fits your needs.

Now that same-sex couples can legally marry in the state of Florida, many couples are changing their existing estate plans and building new estate plans based on these changes in the law. It is our goal to ensure that your estate plan is up to date and custom-tailored to your unique needs and goals.

To schedule a free consultation with an estate planning lawyer, please call us at 954-773-8983 or toll-free at 888-392-5781.

Updating Your Estate Plan

If a medical crisis were to affect your decision-making abilities, you would want someone you trust and love to care for your assets and make decisions on your behalf. These decisions include everything from where you will live if you can no longer care for yourself to where your money will go when you pass away.

Since gay and lesbian couples can now legally marry in the state of Florida, a same-sex spouse can now adopt their partner’s child as a stepparent. Once the individual becomes a stepparent, he or she will automatically become the guardian of the child. We can assist in the stepparent adoption process and make sure your estate plan is reflective of your circumstances.

Whether you are married or not, there are estate planning options available to help you plan for your future. Schedule a time to meet with an attorney from our firm to learn about your specific options.
