Inheritance - you can leave whatever you want to whoever you want, no matter what state in the Union you are in. This is why people leave millions to their cat.
Medical benefits - This isn’t a “right” for hetero or homosexuals. It is, however, a cold hard dollars and cents, issue. Many employers chose to offer benefits to non-married “partners” - good on them. I wouldn’t want this forced anymore than I would want “family” or “individual” forced.
You can achieve all the same medical decision making with a POA.
I’m not knowledgeable enough to take on tax equity, but others on this board are and have in the past. Maybe they will speak up?
