All of that is to say I am unable to see any actual profit for setting up any complicated belief constructions given neither partner nor little one has the power or willingness to know it. We reside in a no property tax state.

You might profit from searching for an elder regulation legal professional who makes a speciality of working with solo agers, which you form of are.

We’ve got found that they’ve plenty of assets for individuals such as you could be – trusted assets for geriatric care managers, CCRC choices consultants and plenty of issues alongside these traces. Plus they’ll function your Private Consultant because it appears like your daughter will not be the proper individual for that job.

You may additionally want somebody to “be there” financially and legally in your husband if – God forbid – one thing occurred to you.

It is probably not paperwork that you just may profit from – a trusted relationship ought to come first and may very well be an actual aid for you on this troublesome time.

This reply profoundly affected me. You are proper.

As you might be, we’re form of in an oddball state of affairs with no members of the family to choose up the slack for us and mates who journey/have problems with their very own/are our identical age and may very well be unable to serve in some unspecified time in the future sooner or later after we can be turning to them. We needed to work with somebody who may get to know us at times be higher at “being there” for us if “one thing modified.”

I’ve requested plenty of questions right here and I’ve 1,000,000 % respect for the Trusts attorneys who do the “paperwork factor” for individuals it would profit. And I am positive there are many individuals with these wants – simply a lot.

However we knew we would have liked somebody who may very well be on-the-ground hands-on for us if we couldn’t deal with issues ourselves. We’re 100% keen to pay for that.

In my exploration/searches, I got here throughout loads of belief attorneys who do trusts and that is about it. No need to assist hands-on and that is tremendous however it was not what we hoped to search out. Additionally, it appears that there’s a actual obvious in-the-field hierarchy of belief attorneys with some being like “architects”/prime degree stuff and others being like “normal contractors” with every kind of assets. We have been searching for the latter.

My level: Hold wanting and hold asking round. “Solo Agers” could be one time period you possibly can Google search. You are in the proper space with “elder regulation.” Additionally you may need to ask for suggestions in case your metropolis/city has senior useful resource individuals. One other time period you might need to search is “particular wants trusts.” As a result of you might want/profit from a belief BUT you’ll need somebody you possibly can belief ( ) to inform you that. If it involves it, they might be extra possible than the “architect” belief attorneys that can assist you with Medicaid. (I’m not 100% positive that the “architect” belief people do not assist with Medicaid however I bought the robust impression they aren’t primarily seeking to work with shoppers who may want it!)

Good luck and PM me if I could be of every other help.

(Sorry in your present difficulties. I hope you husband surprises his docs and lives fortunately and healthily to 100!)
