What estate planning documents do unmarried couples need?
Unmarried couples typically need wills, beneficiary designations, healthcare directives, and powers of attorney since they lack automatic legal protections that married couples receive. Living trusts can also help ensure assets transfer smoothly to a surviving partner while potentially avoiding probate complications.
