About Life Partner Cohabitation Agreement Legal Forms Software
What is the Life Partner Cohabitation Agreement Legal Forms software?
All kinds
of unmarried "Life Partners" who live together in a long-term situation
(whether it is as a man and woman or as same-sex partners) often need to address
highly important legal concerns such as finances, health care, property
rights, and after-death transfer issues. Since unmarried couples who
live together very commonly do not have the same legal structures or
protections available to them as do married people, it is important
that the partner couple address these issues with a comprehensive set
of legal documents. The Life Partners Cohabitation Agreements software
from Standard Legal is just the comprehensive package required! Protect
your property rights, your health care decisions and your peace of mind
with Standard Legal's Cohabitation Agreements legal forms software!

LIFE PARTNER COHABITATION
AGREEMENTS LEGAL FORMS SOFTWARE
Today, a greater number of unmarried couples are living together with
no intention of getting married (or not having the ability to get
married) for a great number of reasons. In most states in this country,
the law usually does not recognize or give the Life Partners in such a
relationship many -- if any -- legal rights. With this Standard Legal
software, you and your Life Partner can enter into certain agreements
with regard to your relationship and the property rights of each (and
both) -- thereby offering each of you protection and peace of mind.
PURCHASED INDIVIDUALLY, THESE
LEGAL TITLES COST $59.80!
Standard Legal has priced
this software at $34.95, and has packaged it with specific revisions
and language for Life Partner situations. These legal forms can be used
by a man and woman couple, or by same-sex partners. The following legal
documents are provided with this Life Partner Cohabitation Agreements
software:
COHABITATION AGREEMENTS
Cohabitation Agreements have become the legal vehicle of choice for
those living together as partners without the benefit of a formal or
legal marriage.
A Cohabitation Agreement is a written contract entered into by two
people prior to living together. The Agreement addresses the various
financial and/or property issues that may arise during the cohabitation
or relationship of the parties that must be resolved if the
relationship ends. Reaching agreement on these difficult issues before
they arise (and while the parties are not involved in disagreements or
potential hostilities) can ease the stress and anxiety that often
arises should the relationship reach that end.
There are two Cohabitation Agreement legal forms provided with this
software; choose the form that best meets your needs:
- Cohabitation Agreement with Specific Percentage
Contribution;
- Cohabitation Agreement with Equal Contributions.
LIVING WILL - ADVANCED HEALTH
CARE DIRECTIVE
This software contains an Advanced
Health Care Directive, which is both an evolution as well
as a compilation of the traditional elements of a Durable Healthcare Power
of Attorney and a Living Will.
An Advanced Health Care Directive can be used to make known certain
decisions and preference with regard to health care and life ending
situations in a Life Partnership.
An Advanced Health Care Directive allows you to tell your doctor and
your family members what kind of care you would like to have if you
become unable to make medical decisions for yourself -- and what types
of healthcare you would NOT like to have performed. The Advanced Health
Care Directive allows you to designate more specifications than the
traditional Living Will, which typically announces only your desire not
to receive life-sustaining treatment if you are terminally ill or in a
permanently unconscious state. An Advance Health Care Directive allows
you to appoint someone you trust to speak for you when you are
incapacitated.
Living Will
The Living
Will portion of the accompanying document allows the
Principal to request that artificial life-sustaining procedures be
withheld or withdrawn when he or she is unable to make responsible
decisions regarding medical care.
The software also contains a Durable Power of
Attorney for Property, which allows the Principal the
opportunity to designate a trusted advisor to handle the financial and
property aspects of his or her life should a medical emergency or
long-term situation arise.
This cohabitation agreement legal software kit also includes a Notice of Final
Disposition document. This document allows you to describe
your wishes as they pertain to funeral arrangements and the disposition
of your bodily remains. Using this document permits you to declare your
desires while you are alive for specific funeral arrangements and
burial or cremation (or other processes) after death. This document
should be provided to your loved ones now, relieving them of having to
make these choices during a difficult time. If there is no Final
Disposition document prepared in advance, the law in the state where
you die generally determines who will decide how the remains are
handled. This document allows you to make your wishes known in advance!
By using all of these documents wisely, a person can prepare specific,
detailed instructions for his or her family, partner and friends that
will let them know exactly what to do should a healthcare emergency
arise.
LAST WILL & TESTAMENT
This Standard Legal Software package allows non-married partners to
quickly and easily create a comprehensive Last
Will and Testament document that is tailored specifically to
the partner's situation. In almost every state, a non-married partner
will usually not receive any of the testator's property unless that
person is named in the Will. As such, unless you create a Will
providing that your property (some, part or all) and assets be provided
to your Life Partner, your non-married partner may receive nothing
under the law. As such, a Will is a powerful tool to allow your wishes
to be fulfilled.
Types of Wills Provided
in this Software:
- Will for Single Person with Children, Property to Children;
- Will for Single Person With No Children, Property to the
Persons Named in the Will;
- Will With Specific Gifting Provisions;
- Will Directing Sale of Assets and Payment of Proceeds to
Beneficiaries.
QUITCLAIM & SURVIVORSHIP
DEEDS
If you need to transfer the ownership of real property from one person
to another, you will need to prepare, sign and file a deed. A deed acts
as the document showing the transfer of a piece of property from one
person or party to another. Deeds can transfer property from one Life
Partner to both Partners, or directly to the other partner if that is
the wish of the property owner. To be effective, the deed must be filed
or recorded with the recorder's office or real estate office in the
county where the property is located. There is usually a fee for filing
the deed and transferring the property.
Types of Deeds provided
with this software:
- Quitclaim Deed;
- Survivorship/Joint Tenant Deeds.
