I used to think it just applied to gay couples. Now that's not true. I have as many straight and unmarried couples as gay couples. People are terrible about taking care of these things. If I had a lot of money, I'd run a foundation teaching this in our school systems.

It's every day, it's everybody. Don't be uncomfortable about discussing these issues. No one likes talking about illness, death, or breaking up and who gets the money. It's important that your assets be protected and that your wishes are carried out. Bankrate Inc. All rights reserved.
