Legal Services for Domestic Partners
Estate Planning | Family Law
If you are in a registered domestic partnership that has been registered with the state of Washington Secretary of State, under Washington law you have many of the same rights and responsibilities of a husband and wife. A domestic partnership may involve a same sex couple, both of whom are adults, or an opposite gender couple involving at least one person who is 65 or older.
Attorney Jennifer Rydberg provides a wide range of estate planning and family law services on behalf of domestic partners, including:
- Dissolution of a domestic partnership

- Property agreements
- Estate planning
- Hospital visitation

Are You in a Meretricious Relationship?
Are you living with a significant other? Even if you are not married or in a registered domestic partnership, your property rights could be affected. Washington courts extend the doctrine of community property to meretricious or "marriage-like" relationships. In the absence of a will, property could be divided similar to a divorce. This applies to both same-sex couples and heterosexual couples living together but not legally married or registered.
The best way to make your wishes clear and to protect your legal rights is to retain a lawyer who can draft a property agreement on your behalf. Attorney Jennifer Rydberg has extensive experience drafting property agreements on behalf of couples in meretricious relationships.
