Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Lawyers for Domestic Partners
We Draft Domestic Partnership Agreements
If you are in a committed same-sex partnership, Wisconsin does not grant you the same rights as a heterosexual married couple. As a result, you would be denied placement rights unless it was clear that you were an adoptive parent or had guardianship rights under a partnership agreement, deprived of your visitation rights to see your partner in the hospital, and your property would not automatically pass to your partner after your death. A domestic partnership agreement can protect your rights as a couple, provide much-needed guidance in the event of separation, and supply you with the basic liberties that others often take for granted.
At Green and Kapsos Law Offices, L.L.C., we are committed to helping all clients — regardless of sexual orientation. If you want a domestic partnership agreement to provide the best possible legal protections for your partner or yourself, contact our office for a free initial consultation. We will discuss your needs and draft a comprehensive agreement that benefits both you and your partner.
Domestic partnership agreements, wills, durable powers of attorney/living wills, and parenting agreements provide solutions to potential family law problems. They allow GLBT and unmarried heterosexual couples to:
- Designate joint property
- Make life and death medical decisions for one another in the event of incapacitation
- Take control of assets in the event of incapacitation or death
- Establish visitation rights in hospitals and nursing homes
- Create legal guardianship over the other partner's biological children or any adopted children
