The wife's claim would surely have had more credibility if she had not waited two years to make it.....

I can't agree enough about that issue WRT gay couples.

To keep the blood relatives from interfering in medical decisions, the requirements for a gay couple are about the same as a straight couple: living will, medical power of attorney, general (or limited) power of attorney, and a living trust can all aid in accomplishing that goal.

You live in the wrong state. Here in Washington the lawyers, medical establishment, and state agencies have gotten together and publish a little folder with a discussion of the various documents and blank forms which people can complete and sign. In complex cases an attorney may need to get involved, but when I do estate planning I hand the people the folder and say they can use these forms, or they can have me fill out custom ones. A few want me to do it, and are willing to pay for it, but most just take the standard forms and are grateful to me for not charging them anything to do it.
