Protect yourself and your partner with Designated Beneficiary Agreements



Beginning July 1, 2009, same-sex partners will be able to establish Designated Beneficiary Agreements in the State of Colorado.

It’s a convenient and low-cost way to designate your loved one as the person entitled to certain financial protections and decision-making powers in major life events.

If you’re hospitalized, will your partner be able to make decisions for you? Will they even be able to visit you? Who stands to inherit your belongings if you die?

Don’t leave it to chance. Designated Beneficiary Agreements let you make these important decisions for each other.

To learn more about this important protection, including the form you’ll need, visit www.designatedbeneficiaries.org.
