Same-sex marriage may soon become the law of the land, so couples now need to learn about the financial realities of marriage and plan accordingly. Marriage creates new pooled resources and obligations. Questions inevitably arise about insurance, investments, financial security for children and other dependents, home ownership, retirement, education costs and more.
Financial experts from Comerica Bank will present a half-hour workshop to address many of these questions and concerns as past of the Ultimate LGBT Wedding & Anniversary Expo. Comerica's Wealth Management Team has assisted countless couples and families as they have planned their financial future in ways that maximize their resources, mitigate tax consequences and protect assets. It is important for same-sex couples to understand the impact of their new legal partnership in order to provide financial and emotional security for themselves and their loved ones.
