My brother found a lawyer schooled in how to manipulate the system to get the government to declare my mother, who was suffering the oblivion of Alziemers, destitute so that my elderly father could escape having his savings drained. What an indignity to alienate your spouse legally, betraying a marriage that had lasted over 60 years, all for the sake of preserving a modest inheritance for us siblings. The lawyer received $15,000 for the devil's work.
Ken, It feels wrong to "like" this comment, but I wanted to acknowledge reading it. Indignity is the perfect word to describe your situation. I am so sorry to hear of your Mother's Alzheimer's condition. That, alone, is a travesty. But what a heartbreak for your Dad to go through the legal quagmire. We need a better system...one that treats elders with dignity.
you hit it on the nose with everything you said!! there should be a manual and like you i thank God i have two sisters so we can do it all together. i feel so bad for people that don't have anyone. :( :(
