Of course people can be petty and vindictive. That is what family is all about.

That coroner btw was in the wrong legally. I certainly hope you have since addressed it with whatever office is in charge of the coroner.

My point is exactly what you said in your first sentence? This story is seriously lacking details. It is inflammatory in the extreme. There is probably more going on here.

because those securitys can be trumped by someone outside of the marriage if there is enough money or the married couple didn't dot their i's and cross their T OR failed to things like powers of attorney etc. Being married doesn't make you exempt if something happens to your partner and other family members or the court doesn't think you are handling it correctly. Happens all the time.

Hell you can be married, have a joint bank account and the main person on the account can totally shut you out of it. Clean it out. No notification will be given by anyone. And nothing you, as a legal signer on the account, can do about it. Banks don't tell you that when you open up a joint account, married or not.

Just one example that being married isn't some kind of shield.

Yes that's right. Call someone a troll that doesn't fall into the goose stepping line. It is called seeing another side of the story, which is woefully missing from this article.

You must be republican. They usually resort to name calling.

called laziness. and not taking responsibility for yourself. You really can't blame that on anyone or anything except yourself.

and maybe they did take those steps in some form. You certainly wouldn't know it from this half assed inflammatory article.

"Opposite-sex couples don’t have to worry about any of this — they just get married and get over 1100 rights, automatically."

Not true and another example of the inflammatory and biased opinion David loves to type.

sometimes. It is difficult though. Sounds like there are other issues at play here then just simply an anti gay agenda. The story is pretty inflammatory and there is obviously a lot of information missing. Nothing is ever this one sided.

It isn't blaming the victims. They didn't take the appropriate measures to protect themselves as any long term couple, straight or gay, should do. Your response is exactly what's wrong with American society. Make it someone else's problem.

They surely weren't stupid and had to have known the law in Texas regarding domestic partnerships. They had ways to get around this.

The sister sounds like a real piece of work BUT as with most media articles this one was written completely one sided. There is a least one more side to this story and probably a whole lot of other sides as well. It is biased to fit this website.

While this is a shame...there are different types of power of attorney (not like what one facebook poster said and was quoted on in the article). As partners of 34 years why didn't they take steps to ensure this couldn't happen? Joint bank accounts, both names on the mortgage, medical AND standard power of attorney, living will etc. You don't have to be in a legal relationship to do any of this. Sis would not have been able to come in and do what she did. She could have tried but wouldn't have legal standin

It is so important to make these decision and make them legally binding way before something happens.
