Sort of depends on whether you think there's a constitutional right involved, or merely a regulatory issue. If I want to drink (legally) at 18, I can't live in some places. If I want to be in a civil union with my partner, I have to pick the right state. If I want my spouse to be able to make decisions for me when I'm comatose (last Friday, for instance), I should check my state laws.
