Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

estate planning

I'm a paralegal not sure of the ever-changing rules and laws regarding gay unions. I know in this state we can't marry 2 homosexuals but can we draw up wills, trusts, health surrogates, POAs, name changes and bankruptcies? I can't seem to find the answers or I get told, ''there are changes occuring.'' Wish I knew what that meant. Thank you for your assistance.

Re: estate planning

As long as they are named beneficiaries there is no problem. Do not refer to them as spouses or leave them un-named.
