If we have learned nothing else in the last four years, it is that despite our many legal and societal gains, our LGBTQ+ community is still very vulnerable to sudden changes in the laws that potentially affect the recognition and status of our families and our relationships. This panel of advocates and family / estate planning experts will discuss some of the current issues we see every day in our offices as we do our best to advise our LGBTQ+ clients in a continually shifting legal landscape, including such issues as: what options each state offers in recognizing LGBTQ+ relationships (i.e., marriage versus other forms of relationship recognition); what workplace protections or lack of protections impact our relationship status; how we can best guide persons transitioning to effectuate name changes, gender marker changes, birth certificates, drivers licenses and passports as well as meeting their needs in the estate planning process; and what about may be at risk through pending legislation. Join us to learn more about how each of us as family and estate planning attorneys can become better advisors to our LGBTQ+ clients.
