January 2022 - I have clients who try to be caretakers to Lovett family members who developed Alzheimer's. Unfortunately it eventually reached a point where they could no longer handle the person who had to either get a full-time health care attendant will be placed in a nursing home.

Many people will attempt to take care of someone with Alzheimer's even though they are not trained to do so because placing them in a nursing home will absorb all of the inheritance they are entitled to. They will caretake until they no longer can. Of course the smart thing to do is for the aging person to place everything in both names protecting the interests of the person left behind. This of course takes us to inheritance blogs for another day.
