[quote=Anonymous]I sympathize OP - I ended up being responsible for my husband’s aunt and uncle when the uncle had a catastrophic stroke and the aunt was suffering from advanced dementia. No one had talked to them about planning for their care - they imagined they would care for each other in their home until death. After the uncle died (a few weeks after his stroke) I had to go through the courts to arrange for guardianship and conservatorship for the aunt so we could handle her medical care. People seldom plan for a crisis or catastrophe when they are thinking about their later years. Most are like your husband’s family hoping to make it through without a disaster.[/quote]
