Okay, will someone, anyone, with a better background in law than me please take a look at the bill mentioned in this post?
Now I don't agree with the intent at all, but that's not the only reason I'm posting this. The wording of this law looks like it's going to cause a TON of legal messes in the future.
(Hypothetically: Person A dies and leaves all her property to Person B, a friend of the same sex (not necessarily a partner) and nothing to their only blood relative, Person C. Could Person C use this law to override Person A's wishes and collect the inheritance??)
What is WRONG with these people?
Maybe it's a good thing my stepbrother and his family escaped Virginia when they did...
