My neighbor was put on life susport about a month ago, I can't find out much (we were not friends) last I heard she was better and going to live out her life with a daughter. She's in her 50s and has lupus. how many of us has a living will or something down on paper that would stand up in court, if something like this happen...it could be a heart attact, stroke or car wreak, ect. She was married to an old man and when he died she took everythings from the kids, big fight. she married after that and the man was gone after a while, She got another old man and he died , same fight. the second one come back for a while, then gone again and she had a third old man who died, the second one come back and been there for at least the last 4 years, He's been taking care of her up until she went to hospital last time, now it's turned around...He's want the house and the kids are trying to get him out so they can sell it. they are fighting again. I feel for him, but, I would like to see that house sold and a family moved in. All I have for neighbors are men. All because of old people dieing. We all need to put it down on paper, what we want if or when we can't speak for ourself. Most of the time everything has to be sold to pay for the care of a person. In this case shes under 55, so the state can't take it for medical cost. I have lived here so long that everyone has died and kids have moved in and most of them have died......That makes me old, One day it will be me, I'm going out fighting...lol
Very important to see an attorney early in life to get these things in writing. ESPECIALLY when you have kids.
