Unmarried LGBTQIA+ couples can protect each other through several estate planning tools. A revocable living trust allows you to name your partner as successor trustee and beneficiary, giving them control over your assets if you become incapacitated. You'll also want powers of attorney for healthcare and finances, plus a will that clearly names your partner as beneficiary. These documents ensure your partner has legal authority to make decisions and inherit your assets, regardless of what family members might prefer.
