Yes. Same-sex couples, whether married or unmarried, can use Complete Wills the same way any other couple would, naming each other as beneficiaries, agents, or decision-makers as they choose.
General information
- Married same-sex couples generally have the same legal rights and protections as any other married couple under current federal and state law.
- Unmarried same-sex couples, like any unmarried couple, benefit from documents that clearly name each other, since they may not have automatic legal rights.
- Each partner generally completes their own separate documents.
Service steps to consider
- Each partner should complete their own questionnaire and documents.
- Name each other as beneficiaries, agents, or decision-makers where intended.
- Review state-specific rules if you have questions about your particular situation.
Quick check
- Have both partners completed their own documents?
- Have we named each other where we want to?
