DEI PRESENTATION + CLE
Pride Month Presentation!
How Should LBGTQ Couples Protect Themselves in Uncertain Times?
We will explore the unique legal and practical steps LGBTQ couples can take to protect themselves, their relationships, and their families in a changing legal climate. This presentation will cover the different types of relationships recognized under the law, the challenges LGBTQ couples may still face, and the estate planning tools that help ensure their wishes are honored.
