Why do you need the Domestic Partnership Marriage Agreement™?

Domestic Partnership Marriage Agreement™ is the most powerful legal contract that same-sex couples can use to obtain the rights of marriage. This straightforward commitment has a recognized legal structure. With it, you can conduct yourselves like a married couple. DPMA ™ is best suited for couples who own or plan to acquire property (ex. a house, car, boat, 401K, bank or securities account) they wish to shield from relatives.

Think this is too much for you? Think again.

A heterosexual couple's assets are not subject to estate taxes until both spouses are deceased. Same-sex couples don't have an "unlimited marital deduction.” They can end-up paying taxes twice for the same assets. Often, the grieving partner must have an unpleasant fire sale to satisfy the IRS. He/she can even be forced to liquidate assets to satisfy claims from blood relatives. Properties such as houses and cars have gone to relatives, not partners, because same sex couples are not protected by the same laws as legally binding marriages.

If DPMA™ does not fit your current situation (and for many it doesn’t), then we suggest you read the Medical and Financial section about the products that every couple can benefit from, such as hospital visitation, medical and financial decision-making rights.
