Your Relationship Is Real. Your Plan Should Be Too.
Committed partners deserve the same legal protection as anyone else - and we make sure you get it.
Don't Leave Your Partner Unprotected
Unmarried couples — whether same-sex or opposite-sex — have virtually no automatic legal rights when it comes to each other's assets, healthcare, or finances. Without a plan, your partner could be shut out entirely while distant relatives inherit everything you built together.
At 5 West Legal, we build plans that give your relationship the legal recognition and protection it deserves.
What Your Life Partner Plan Covers
Asset Protection
Make sure your partner inherits what you intend — not who the state decides.
Healthcare Decisions
Give your partner the legal authority to make medical decisions for you.
Financial Authority
Ensure your partner can manage your finances if you become incapacitated.
The Unmarried Partner Risk
Without legal documents in place, your partner has no automatic right to be by your side in a medical emergency, make decisions on your behalf, or inherit what you've built together. Estate planning is how you change that — and protect the person who matters most to you.
