Creating Domestic Partnership Agreements
In 2007, the state of Washington created a registry for domestic partners, making them eligible for certain rights and benefits offered by the state. Though this was a monumental event in the GLBT community, registering with the state does not replace the need for a legal agreement. A domestic partnership agreement is a contract between you and your partner that outlines the ownership of your assets. Without it, there could be a disagreement if your partnership ends or one of you dies.
If you are considering a domestic partnership agreement, a skilled attorney can help you get the same protection you would have in a marriage.
