Without government sanction how would inhearatance work?
Without government sanction how would legitimacy of hiers work?
Without government sanction how would resposibility for offspring work?
The same way it did before government sanction... which has only existed for a little less than a century, and came about for strictly bigoted reasons.

quote:
The American colonies officially required marriages to be registered, but until the mid-19th century, state supreme courts routinely ruled that public cohabitation was sufficient evidence of a valid marriage. By the later part of that century, however, the United States began to nullify common-law marriages and exert more control over who was allowed to marry.
By the 1920s, 38 states prohibited whites from marrying blacks, “mulattos,” Japanese, Chinese, Indians, “Mongolians,” “Malays” or Filipinos. Twelve states would not issue a marriage license if one partner was a drunk, an addict or a “mental defect.” Eighteen states set barriers to remarriage after divorce.
The entire purpose of marriage licenses were to keep the white race pure.

Hell, none of those things work well WITH government sanction in the first place.

If you have a large, complicated estate, you NEED a will.
No you need a trust and a will.
If you have a moderately sized estate, and you don't have a will, your inheritors are going to squabble over it regardless.
Thus probate.
If you don't have any significant wealth, no one cares. In any event, a will costs less than a wedding.
How much?
Probate doesn't really help without a will. As for the cost of a will, it depends on how complicated the estate is. Simple ones can easily be had for less than $100.

No one cares about 'legitimacy' anymore anyway.
How many bastards inhearet?
Given the percentage of out of wedlock births in this country, I'd imagine almost all of them.
quote:
And YOU are always responsible for your offspring, with or without government sanction.
Then there are no orphan's homes in your world?
They're called 'foster homes' in my world. But if you're in one, it's either because your parents are dead (and thus whether or not they were married is irrelevant). Or your parents are fundamentally irresponsible (and thus likely not married to begin with).
Just ignore him. It gets him hard if you respond to him.
Meh... I'm bored and feeling sadistic.
