Estate planning is complicated enough, we really need to have a Federally recognized gay marriage. It really ticks me off that I can't put her on my pension or health insurance. And, it makes my blood boil to think one of us could have to pay estate taxes on money we've accumulated together.
On a positive note, congratulations on 33 years! We are about to hit our 22 year anniversary.

It's the only way to be sure it's done right. You might want to consult a tax accountant as well.Attorney? Not sure about it.
