Reaching Out to the LGBT Community

 Announcing the Premiere Issue of My LGBT Newsletter! 
 
 
Greetings friends!
 
In addition to my monthly newsletter, I have created this LGBT newsletter to specifically address LGBT news and current issues and reach out to the community even more. Additionally, I'm also making an exciting addition to my website: I have added a Comprehensive Estate Planning for the LGBT Community page, located at www.burch-law.com/lgbt-legal-services.htm, to address the specific estate planning needs of the LGBT community.

On the new page, you can find Planning Considerations for LGBT families, a list of documents no couple should be without, links to LGBT resources, and more information about estate planning for gay couples.

I hope that you will take a few minutes to visit the page and I hope that you find it, as well as this newsletter, to be an invaluable resource to your own family's planning. I'm so excited to be able to offer my services to so many wonderful and loving couples!
 
Your friend,
Lorie
