A Legal Union refers to a formal relationship recognized by law, typically involving two individuals who have chosen to live together as partners. This can include various forms of partnerships, such as marriage or civil unions, which grant legal rights and responsibilities to the partners. Legal unions often address issues like property ownership, inheritance, and decision-making in medical situations. In many jurisdictions, legal unions provide protections and benefits, such as tax advantages and access to health care. The specific rights and obligations can vary depending on local laws and the type of union established, influencing how partners interact with each other and society.
