According to Carrie Gordon Earll, director of issues analysis for Focus on the Family Action, the bill would simply create reciprocal-beneficiary contracts and streamline arrangements which are already allowed under Colorado law. “These are contract agreements that people can already have," she said. "We're talking about powers of attorney, medical decision making, what will happen with your will and your property when you die. All this bill does is say: If you have a need to be in one of these contractual relationships with someone you legally can't marry, you could do this through a notarized contract filed with the county clerk and — instead of paying thousands of dollars to an attorney for individual contracts — you can have one packaged contract offered to you." Sounds like a good idea to me. What about such an agreement with someone you can legally marry but don't want to?
