If Youre Living Together & Not Married
b'With Sandra Block, Senior Associate Editor \\u2013 Kiplinger\\u2019s Personal Finance
Love and marriage don\\u2019t always go hand-in-hand \\u2013 sometimes it\\u2019s the fear of commitment but many-a-times, the decision to not get married is rooted in personal finance despite 1,138 tax breaks, benefits and protections for married couples, This is especially true for older couples in second or third marriages who have children, alimony or other commitments from multiple marriages \\u2013 and are just not comfortable diving into another marriage. For example, the number of people over 50 - living together but not married \\u2013 doubled between 2000 and 2010\\u2026 and it\\u2019s not because it\\u2019s no longer taboo but because of factors such as healthcare costs, social security, estate planning, etc. This.
Sandra Block walks us through the extra steps unmarried couples need to take to protect their financial interests, legal rights and inheritance issues \\u2013 while cohabiting and when things go bad\\u2026 such as the death of a partner or a break-up.'
