Vent away, that's what were here for. Sorry to hear about it.

Sorry to hear that Sue.

Hope the nurses on the unit where's she's at blocks his access to the unit.

I've done that many times. If I have any hint that someone may pose a threat to my patient, they ain't getting on the unit.

Never thought of that! I LIKE IT!

I know in some states, it's NOT an option - in NY for instance, 1/3rd of the house MUST go to the spouce - and I know there are some laws RE Life Insurance that the spouce has to get some percentage (think 1/2) unless the spouce signs off that they don't want it [/quote]


This only applies if a person dies without a Will; then there is a statutory Will, which differs in each state, that determines by law who gets what. Also, if the house is deeded jointly in both names, that supercedes anything in the Will.

As far as life insurance, the disposition is by beneficiary designation. There's no requirement that the spouse gets anything. The beneficiary designation takesprecedence over anything in the Will. If there is no beneficiary designation, then the life insurance proceeds are distributed by the terms of the Will.

Not in NY - we just went through this here in NY. We KNEW Mom was going to Die, and Dad go into a nursing home. Money shelter idea - house becomes solely Mom's, she wills it to me. NOPE - in NY, Dad is legally entitled to a 1/3rd share - called "the elective share" is he, or his creditors (up to 5 year look back) wants it

I don't believe in Karma. Take Ben's cane and enjoy yourself.

While I am not into violence and the like my mind does drift towards tire slashing, keying, 4 lb engineer's hammer to the body panels. You get the idea; make his life miserable, cost him money and time. I snap back to lucidity when I think of having to deal the law. Sometimes it just stinks we cannot take care of business.
