Hi,
My OH was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about 18 months ago. We have a LPA, I am his Attorney and he still has mental capacity. He just needs support at times.
His daughter from his first marriage has just got engaged and naturally he will want to make a contribution towards the cost of her wedding.
Now that he has this diagnosis, will there be a limit on how much he could give to her? I am concerned about any issues of Deprivation of Assets rearing their head in the future. I'd hate for him to contribute a large amount, only for SS to try to claw it back in the future and cause aggravation and upset for all. I'd like us to get it right for everyone.
I know there are knowledgeable folks who use the forum could anyone offer me any advice please?
