Q: I am married and separated but not legally. My husband and I are good friends. Can I stop the children from taking over?
Up to a years ago, I was helping with my husbands care. His son moved in with him, one year ago, to care for my husband.
Now the son placed my husband in assisted care living. The son wants me to sign papers, so he can pay the mortgage and keep the condo
The son is worried because his sister wants to take the condo for the money. Both children have taken over and are after what they can get.
A:
You need to sit down with a local elder law attorney to discuss all of this - its way too complicated to answer in forum such as this one.
Since you are still technically married you have very strong rights, especially with regard to the homestead.
