Seeking Lawyer to Write a Will

Updated on January 01, 2009

I need to get a will written for my child so he will not go to my family, if I pass away. Does anyone know a lawyer who would specialize in making sure blood relatives do not get custody? I would like one that specializes in LGBT issues since I am leaving him to my partner.

What can I do next?

Hi B.,
I don't have any first hand experience with this issue, but can defiantly see why it would be important to you. I took a moment to try googling your request, and had some lawyers websites pop up. You might try going that route to get a list, and then calling them to discuss your particular situation. I do know firsthand about how important it is to pick the right lawyer, so I wish you luck.
My google search was "kansas city and lawyer and gay and custody" and you could try variations of that nature to expand your search. Or, perhaps you could try researching on a site that caters specifically to the gay/lesbian community - as I am sure this is a common issue.
Good luck to you in your search and all of the pending work it will entail. Working with lawyers is a long, expensive process but absolutely vital to protecting yourself and your partner and son's wishes.
I hope for the best for you and your family, and I wish you a wonderful New Year!
D.

I used to work in the same office as Kyle Krull, and he is very nice! I would also recommend Schlagel, Gordon & Kinzer in Olathe ###-###-####.

As long as you specify in your will that you want your partner to get custody, your family will not get your child. If you don't have a will, that is when the problem comes in. You actually don't need a lawyer that specializes in anything-just one that does wills. Hope this helps.

B.,
I highly advise you to go with a living trust over a will. We used Austin Living Trust and were very happy with them. They specialize in wills & trusts, and the best part is they do a free consult.

They explain everything in terms that the average person can understand and are willing to answer all questions!
