Consequently, you must document everything from property ownership and children to wills and other estate plans. An essential resource for any unmarried couple, Living Together explains: * the legality of living together * naming, legitimizing and raising children * the many types of ownership agreements * relationships with a prior family * getting authorization to make medical decisions for an ill or injured partner Living Together includes: * a complete overview of important legal documents * instructions to filling out these documents * sample forms * legal agreements as tear-outs and on CD-ROM The book also contains the latest information on domestic partner status.

 Rating:  - Fantasticly helpfulGreat help thorough information. Points reader in the right direction to find information not included in this book.

Same-sex couples should instead read _A Legal Guide for Lesbian and Gay Couples_ by Hayden Curry and Denis Clifford, also published by Nolo. Although many of the issues overlap regardless of sexual orientation, this book considers specifically the concerns facing unmarried male-female partners. Within this scope, this book does a wonderful job of exploring every legal detail unmarried couples should consider ... Read More
