Estate Planning & Financial Planning for the LGBTQ Community
October is LGBTQ+ History Month — it’s time to plan for your future.
LGBTQ+ individuals and families often face extra hurdles in long-term and estate planning: legal limits on family recognition, outdated default laws, unequal access to spousal benefits, and more.

Why estate planning is especially critical in LGBTQ+ contexts
Key legal documents everyone should have (will, trust, power of attorney, healthcare directive)
How to protect your partner(s), children, and chosen family — married or not
Integrating financial strategies (investments, insurance, retirement accounts) with your estate plan
