we were the same size, but unfortunately we are not.

The insurance agent's solution to the personal belonging s policy? Insure our belongings under one name, we are informed. Now this could very well lead to even further complications, it would seem to me. It is not inconceivable that something could happen to the one name as well as the possessions. Then what? A will perhaps? Power of attorney? Or total loss?

We had also heard much ado about the new mortgage insuranc policies. We investigated that proposition too. Again we were not eligible, since we were not a legal family. The best that could be done in this instance would be to insure each party's half of the mortgage at higher rates, course!

So you see that obtaining adequate insurance in the case of a Lesbian partnership can be a very serious matter indeed! Whether or not the "family" relationship is recognized, it would seem to me that there should be little or no problem involved when ownership is jointly shared especially when both names appear on the pink slip or the deed or the sales contract. But apparently this is a very new problem to the insurance people and to date consi deration has not been given joint owners who are "unrelated." What's the matter? Aren't any of you others carrying insurance?
