Estate Planning - Domestic Partners

Domestic Partners

Julie Alexander, has helped over 350 gay and lesbian couples and individuals protect their relationships and their assets through estate planning (and business planning) tailored to the unique needs of our LGBT clients. Julie Alexander has been assisting LGBT clients since she started her own practice in 2001.

Julie Alexander understands the concerns and problems her LGBT clients face when not equally protected by Texas law. Therefore, she works hard to design uniquely tailored estate planning documents, which include protection for partners, children, hospital visitation provisions and HIPPA releases.

Julie Alexander's extensive experience in the challenges faced by LGBT clients during the estate planning process allows her to provide compassionate advice to LGBT clients on the protection of partners, biological and adoptive parents, children, assets and businesses.

Our estate planning documents for GLBT clients often include:

• Wills structured to assure that partners, family and friends are protected, even in situations where families may not approve of a client's choices.
• Powers of Attorney (Medical and Financial) that allow a partner to make medical and financial decisions for the client.
• Provisions assuring that a partner and/or friends can have hospital visitation.
• HIPPA Releases which assure that the people appointed under a clientÕs power of attorney have access to necessary medical documents and records.
• Preservation of real estate or businesses for the benefit of a partner.
• Trusts (including Contingent Trusts for Minor Children)
• Guardian Designations for Children
• Living Wills
