Re: will

Owning property together complicates things due to your situation. I would recommend against depending on wills to be your primary means to pass your property even with a property agreement. Especially if you are concerned about any dispute among heirs. A revocable (living) trust would be a little more expensive than wills on the front end but they can save your family a lot of money and heartache at death or incapacity.

Re: will

It is important that you see an Elder Care lawyer, who specializes in handling these issues and ones that will (hopefully) appear later in your life. This is a specialty area, and there are many lawyers around who do this. It is a much safer choice than a general practioner who claims to handle just about every area of law. Ask for referrals fron local lawyers, or do a google search for "elder care Lawyers" in your area.
