With our experience in working with GLBT couples in Maryland, Washington, DC and Virginia, we will recommend an appropriate combination of:

. Last Will and Testament
. Domestic Partnership Agreement
. Durable (Financial) Power of Attorney
. Power of Attorney over Health Care Decisions
. Living Will or Advance Medical Directive

Most financial accounts and all life insurance policies require you to designate beneficiaries. Because these designations take priority over your will, it is important to review and update these documents too:

. Life insurance policies and beneficiaries
. Beneficiary designations for IRA, 401(k) and other retirement accounts
. Registration of bank and investment accounts that contain joint funds
. Deeds to real estate
