Abstract
The 1990 Uniform Probate Code does not provide intestate inheritance rights to the surviving same-sex committed partner of a decedent. Revision of the 1990 Code to include the provision of such intestate inheritance rights would further the 1990 Code's principal value of promoting donative freedom and could be implemented in a manner that would be consistent with the subsidiary values that ground the 1990 Code. Revision of the 1990 Code to include same-sex intestate inheritance rights also would be likely to facilitate the emergence of progressive social norms that value positively gay men and lesbians and their relationships.
