Legal Question
My parents split up several years ago. They never got a legal seperation or a divorce. My mother is age 72, lives alone in New Hampshire and collects social security and has a small part time job. My father is age 74, lives in Florida with another woman and collects social security only. His girlfriend has no income.
Each parent has only a small amount of savings.
Question 1: If one parent was to become ill and/or needs to go in a nursing home would the other parent be responsible for paying medical bills etc.?
Question 2: My mother does not have a will and for some reason will not get one. When she dies, and if she is still legally married to my father, how will her assets be distributed?
