How exactly do you deal with issues of inheritance, medical decisions, etc.?

They're called "Wills, Contracts, and Power of Attorney". Look into them sometime.

And what of that little thing called “intestacy”?

You asked a question. I answered it.

Matters of inheritance are dealt with by a legal instrument known as a "Will".

Medical care decisions are dealt with by a legal instrument known as a "Power of Attorney".

Neither one of these legal instruments requires the State or Federal governments to become involved in the question of what is or is not a marriage.
