looking for a link, Suze Orman's list of financial benefits that come with marriage

[shireen]

Hi ... i heard that Suze Orman had a really good list of all the financial benefits of marriage that are being denied to gays because same-sex marriage is not recognized in most of the country. Does anyone have a link to it?

Also, are there resources about estate planning and financial planning for gays? Specifically for Maryland?

I need to pass this info along to a friend. Since the laws of this country choose to deny him the rights that all citizens should have, he and his partner need to take additional steps to protect themselves and their assets.

thanks in advance.

1. resources about estate planning and financial planning for gays?

Not purely gay -oriented, but this is worth a peek:

Living Together A Legal Guide for Unmarried Couples c 2001 Ihara & Warner

I have used it, and have sent it to my gay friends relatives, they say it works for them.

Might want to check for an updated version.
