But they had documents drawn up years ago that allows them to considered in an illness, their real estate and other assets. Depending where you live, you may be able to get advice from an attorney that works with seniors so both of you can be protected and have your wishes in writing. I don’t think having just a Will is what it takes..they are on a cruise or I’d call and ask the name of the document..I’ll keep this post open and let you know when they return. 🌺
