Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unmarried couples face formidable retirement and estate planning challenges because they do not have the same legal rights as married couples. They do not receive the same Social Security or pension benefits, and they are not entitled to the unlimited marital deduction in estate planning. Therefore, they often need to take extra steps to ensure that their assets are distributed according to their wishes in the event of one partner's death. A partner does not have the same legal rights as a spouse (A), and unmarried couples cannot use the marital deduction (B). While unmarried couples may have some estate planning needs, they generally have less need than married couples (C) who have legal obligations to each other and potentially children to consider.
