✅ Yesterday we told you the risk. Today, let's talk about the fix.
If you're an unmarried couple, these 5 documents are your legal safety net:
1. Will — directs who gets what (spoiler: it won't automatically be your partner)
2. Durable Power of Attorney — lets your partner manage finances if you can't
3. Healthcare Proxy / Medical POA — so they can make decisions when it matters most
4. Beneficiary Designations — update your 401(k), IRA, and life insurance NOW
5. Cohabitation Agreement — protects shared property and finances
☀️ This summer, protect what you've built together.
One conversation with an estate planning attorney could be the most important thing you do as a couple this year.
