You plan to live together but you have no plan following death. Hi, I'm Darren Findling of The Probate Pro there is special status that is given to a married couple that doesn't exist for two people that are living together when you live together you're as if you're strangers living together so depending on how you've identified your assets really strange results can occur when one person dies so when you're married and you die and you own assets together just by virtue of the marriage you own it by tenants by entirety if you own it together and the Survivor takes in an estate if you die with Assets in your name there are protections for a surviving spouse but these don't exist for those people who are cohabitating who are longtime boyfriend-girlfriend, girlfriend-girlfriend, boyfriend-boyfriend who are together and there are all sorts of problematic results that arise if you don't create an estate plan if you don't think about the effect of your cohabitation and of the death of one of the two people now imagine if you both come from different sets of families with different children or different parents and one dies the estate will go to those airs of the person that died rather than to the other go habitat so of course if you own the asset jointly with survivorship rights then the Survivor will take but you have to do the planning think about the effect of a death. Death is often sudden without any preparation or warning so if you're going to cohabitate with another person if you're in a long-term relationship with another person face the difficult discussions meet with an estate planning lawyer and plan for your estate so you don't have a result that you both would not want if you got further questions about probate related issues visit us at theprobatepro.com or call us at 833 PROBATE.
