Poly Families & Estate Planning: What You Should Know

There are moments in life when love feels expansive, joyful, and full of possibility. There are also moments when practicality quietly taps us on the shoulder and asks an important question: Have you taken care of the details that protect the people you love?

At our upcoming Polyamory Talks™ on April 19, attorney Jenny Ling of The Law Offices of Jenny Ling, PLLC will guide attendees through a subject many polyamorous families eventually encounter—but rarely discuss openly: estate planning.

For households that extend beyond traditional legal frameworks, thoughtful planning becomes especially important. Wills, trusts, beneficiary designations, and medical directives can determine how partners are protected, how assets are transferred, and how your wishes are honored when it matters most.

Jenny’s presentation, “Estate Planning for Poly Families,” will explore the unique legal realities that arise in multi-partner households and how individuals can thoughtfully plan for the future. Her goal is not simply to explain legal tools, but to help attendees understand how those tools can create clarity, stability, and peace of mind.

Whether you are part of a long-established poly family or simply thinking ahead about the life you’re building, this conversation offers practical insight that few people ever receive in such a welcoming setting.

And of course, this is just one part of the afternoon. Polyamory Talks™ on April 19 will also include a candid discussion on safer sex practices with Madeline Brown of Planned Parenthood, along with a brief Polyamory Artist Panel featuring artists participating in the upcoming Seattle Erotic Art Festival.

If you enjoy spending time in rooms where curiosity is encouraged and real-world knowledge is shared generously, we hope you’ll join us.

Tickets are available now, and we look forward to welcoming you.
