so write a will.
Wesss!! My bigoted friend!!! I missed ya sooo much
The problem is not to do with death, but to do with status of ownership during living. So it's not about gay people writing wills.
But I don't expect someone of your bigoted status to appreciate this difference. Carry on
So what is the problem? Tell me, and I will offer a solution.
You've already tried and resulted in an epic fail. The problem is that under marriage, property, assets all come under joint ownership. Under defacto, they don't.
You are wrong. After six months, a de facto partner can claim
as much as a wife. Relatives can take the matter to court, of course, but that takes money.
In my initial post, I suggested that gays should be allowed a ceremony but of another name.
It has happened that after a gay tended his sick partner for years, he was kicked out of the house, empty handed, by the relatives of the deceased.
That should be corrected.
As for wills, they are constantly contested, and it's the lawyers who end up enriched.
