Confused
We have no intention of robbing her, in fact that is what we are trying to prevent anyone else from doing in the future, especially if she has to go into a home. My husband is afraid that her house will be taken and sold to pay for nursing care if she does have to go into a home. It sounds selfish but that house is his inheritance and we both know it would kill her if she knew it had to be sold, she has been there for over 50 years. And no she is not a millionaire, just a bit of savings, her pension and her house are all she has.
My husband is saying we should just get her to sign the EPA anyway and get one of her sisters to witness it (who would be one of the ones needing notification anyway) but I am not sure I could settle my conscience on that one, because even though I know it is the only thing we can do to make sure she is provided for in the future, I also know she would have no concept of what she was signing.
