87 year old father want to remarry
My 87 year old father wants to
remarry. He promised to keep all
finances separate with a pre-nup.
What about nursing home expense?
If his new wife enters a nursing
home and she exhausts her money
supply, could nursing home expenses
deplete our inheritance too? Would
Title 19 ''Kick in'' for her care or
because they are married, go into
my father's money? Do you know
any good estate attorneys in Iowa?
Re: 87 year old father want to remarry
Your concerns are reasonable. Careful estate planning with your dad would eliminate these risks. I don't know any in IOWA, but you can get the planning done by a California attorney. I do estate planning for people all the time out of California. The requirement is that you contact a California attorney to perform services in California. That they are performed with a mind to legal issues in another state doesn't matter. In otherwords, a lawyer in a state is not precluded from practicing considering the laws of another state. In fact, if the laws of another state effect the client's interest, the lawyer must consider the other jurisdiction's laws.
