Colorado's terrific new law, the subject of previous posts here and here, went into effect at the beginning of this month. Folks there have developed this user-friendly web site with answers to questions and forms to download.
Congratulations, Colorado! LGBT folks there can now name a next-of-kin, whether that is a same-sex partner or a close and trusted friend. I hope other states will follow, including those that allow same-sex couples to marry. If you're interested in how this law got passed, contact the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center of Colorado and its Legal Initiatives Project.

The designated beneficiary law is a great step forward. Having protections for hospital visitations, medical decisions, and will representation amongst others is going to help a lot of people.
