Meeting With The Lawyer

The meeting with the lawyer went about as expected. What we did find out is that Kris's mom didn't do everything she was supposed to do when her dad had his accident five years ago. She was supposed to transfer title of all their joint assets into her name only in the event that she passed away first. That way in the event that we needed to move Bob into a long term care facility we wouldn't have to sell everything he owns. Well, she never did that for their house or for their car. So now we are trying to figure out how to make sure that his house is safe from a nursing home in the event that is what will need to happen.

The one good thing is that it is pretty much uncontestable, so we don't have to worry about anyone challenging it in court, which was actually a thought that we had. So now we have to get her dad and brother to sign papers saying they won't contest the will and we will begin the probate process.
