Last Will and Testament.
While no one likes to dwell on the inevitable, it's better to be prepared than not. A will lets you decide ahead of time how you want your assets to be distributed after your death. If you die without a will, the distribution of your assets is controlled by law. The rules vary somewhat from state to state, but your assets would be divided among your living relatives. Since most states don't recognize lesbian and gay relationships, your Property would not pass to your surviving partner.
That's why having a will is so important. It puts you in control of exactly how you want your assets divided. In addition, having a will simplifies the process, shortening the length of time your assets will be tied up in the Legal system. A will also allows you to dictate how you would like to be put to rest, decisions that would otherwise be decided by your relatives, not your partner.
It is important to remember to change your will if there are big changes in your life. This is especially important if you have children or move to a new state.
