Food for Thought

A recent report found that the US now has 27 Million Entrepreneurs!  

Which raises the question: Why are there so many individuals wanting to go into business for themselves when it would be far ‘easier’ to be employed?

However, same-sex couples/families and LGBTQ individuals may have more to gain from making an estate plan than others because of the ever-changing nature of the laws surrounding LGBTQ issues.  An estate plan can also help clarify the nature their relationship for those family members or professionals who may not (sadly) understand it or approve of it.
