Marriage is more than a milestone — it’s a merger of lives, love, and responsibility.
Quick tips
- You're building something beautiful together - now it's time to protect what you're creating
- Your spouse becomes your biggest financial partner and should be part of all major decisions
- Marriage changes everything legally - make sure your protection keeps up
- You already share a life, now make sure you can share healthcare and financial decisions
- Building a strong foundation includes more than just love - it includes legal protection
Without proper planning, hospitals might not let your spouse make medical decisions for you, and your old beneficiaries could still inherit everything instead of your new partner.
Now is a good time to update legal documents like estate plans, wills, power of attorney, and healthcare proxies.
