First, I recall this happening, i have not read all of the posts here.
Second, i wonder what the final outcome of this case was? Hoping that i make the time to find out. Lastly, Always make a 2nd beneficiary(that is not your partner obviously) on the life insurance policy. Someone whom is trustworthy to do what you want and to speak for you when you are no longer here. Always make a 2nd beneficiary on a 401k, and a pension if your company allows same sex or fill in the blank(human beings). Hopefully, the 2nd beneficiary can be a sibling that you trust and outlives you. There is No Way a court can refute that. None that i know of anyway. (One time...i purposely put my younger sibling as the primary beneficiary with legal documation that sibling was to follow out my wishes. Because, legally, that is what i had to do inorder for my girlfriend to get what i had.) Also, every state's laws are different. Even heterosexual couples, that are not married, get the shaft. But, at least they have a legal choice to marry in all states. To comment on the case...i am speechless for now. Other than...absolute disgust with how humans treat other humans.

Maybe i did and moved on. Never got to spend the time to read up more on it. I do remember seeing Kristen on youtube and following her updates. Wills really are the best thing to have to protect all property assets. Always include 2 beneficiaries. That is what i have learned. Another important factor is to have a witness(not just primary or secondary beneficiary) or two at the signing. And yes, a Will doesn't control a bank account. A separate contract has to be drawn up at the bank. So tragic what people have to go through just to live. I wanna thank everyone who voiced their opinions and support etc. |

The 13th US District Court of Appeals is going to make a based on the arguments submitted for evidence, and will not be hearing oral arguments. This is the current information that I have, as of last Wensday. Nikki is planning on taking this to the US Supreme Court if necessary, and it appears that it will be needful.

As of a court document dated 3 Aug 12, the US 13th District Court will now be hearing oral arguments on this case. Nikki just posted this info today, with a copy of the court document on Facebook.

I beg everyone's pardon. This case is still in the Texas judicial system, at present. It is the Texas 13th District Court of Appeals that the case is at now.
