Video Transcript “LEGAL RIGHTS OF A MARRIED PERSON”
This is Hammers & Baltazar’s sixty seconds of Family Law. Got a minute?
Hello, I’m Barbara Hammers and I’m gonna talk about the legal rights of a married person.
There is a debate over marriage rights and whether or not to extend those rights to couples of the same sex or if a civil union or domestic partnership is sufficient.
Do you know what rights are given to married couples?
With marriage you can file federal taxes together, have rights to your spouses’ social security, inherit without a will, get health care and have a say in your spouses’ medical treatment or burial arrangements.
Most of these rights are not available to non-married people. When deciding where you stand on this issue, knowing the rights married people have can assist you in making an important decision. Also, knowing your rights as a married person, may help if you ever face one of these issues.
This family law minute is brought to you by Hammers & Baltazar Family Law.
I’m Barbara Hammers, thank you for watching.
