What is the meaning of the first same-sex partner custody notarization in Beijing?

On August 5, Beijing Guoxin notary office notarized the intended guardianship agreement and pre order for two gay men. This is the first such notarization for special groups (same-sex groups) in Beijing and even northern China since the implementation of the general provisions of civil law.

According to the polar day report, from October 1, 2017, the general provisions of the civil law expanded the scope of intended guardianship from the mentally ill and the elderly over 60 to all adults with full civil capacity.

This means that same-sex couples have also become one of the applicable groups. Gay groups facing many practical problems and legal difficulties hope to prove that same-sex partners are given custody of their personal and property.

The two men who went through the notarization this time had more than 10 years of emotional foundation and obtained a marriage certificate abroad, but they were limited to domestic laws and regulations and had a knot in their mutual legal positioning. At the same time, their parents are getting old. In the future, personal pension and medical problems, especially hospitalization signature, will become the biggest trouble and obstacle for them. However, due to the blank of domestic legislation, the above problems have become two people's heart disease.

Recently, after seeing the media reports, they went to Beijing Guoxin notary office to handle the notarization of each other's intended guardianship agreement and pre order before death, and designated the other party as their intended guardian, which fundamentally solved the problems of inpatient medical treatment and serious illness guardianship.

On the 7th, the official wechat of Beijing Guoxin notary office said that the notarization not only promoted and demonstrated the practice of voluntary guardianship and pre order, but also played an irreplaceable role in safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of special groups and social stability.

It is reported that the official website of Beijing Guoxin notary office was established in 1994 with the approval of the Ministry of justice and qualified in the annual inspection and registration of the Beijing Judicial Bureau. It can handle all kinds of notarization matters at home and abroad in the administrative region of Beijing.
