Can't you just accomplish the same thing with a trust? Admittedly it's a few hundred dollars instead of whatever the marriage license fee is, but, really?

- stormdennis 6y agoI don't know but in the occasional debates I heard around this issue, trusts were never mentioned. Maybe that's a more possible solution in the USA. The attraction of civil partnership as thought of for these cases is that it's understood to just be a legal arrangement that confers all the legal rights of spouses to property automatically. Because it's possible for same sex people I've heard of two widowers who share a house entering such an arrangement.
