Asked in IL May 18, 2022 ,  0 answers Visitors: 1
I have a good friend dying of cancer in a nursing home. She has no close family in state and is estranged from her one brother and distant relatives. She is not married and has a large estate. She wants to pay me to move in with her up to thousands per month to take care of her until she dies and then put me in her will. I want to help her but I don't want to be involved with the inevitable fight with her brother after she dies. Is it a good idea for me to simply ask her to pay off half of my house and then when she dies will it become all mine if both our names are on the deed? Or, can she just pay it off for me and the deed remain I. Just my name without any estate problems after she passes?

You have described a situation where there will be people motivated to sue after your friend dies. To minimize the chance of that, or the chance that such a lawsuit would be successful, your friend should hire an attorney before either of you do anything else, and you should have no involvement with her consultations with her lawyer.
