Although these domestic partnerships do not carry the same legal weight or provide the same rights as marital unions, they do offer legal benefits to couples including family and bereavement leave, health insurance coverage for partners, and visitation rights in hospitals and jails. Domestic partnership couples are also entitled to enforceable agreements prepared by attorneys that stipulate the rights and responsibilities of each partner in the partnership. Such a domestic partnership agreement can cover issues such as property titles, commingling and separation of funds, and asset/liability division and partner support in the event of separation.
