You're Not Getting Married - Are Your Assets Really Protected?
About the Program:
As more couples choose to live together without marriage, and as they age, issues about asset protection begin to loom large. There are a host of questions that may arise, including: What happens if one they own a home together and of them needs to go into a nursing home; will the other spouse be forced to sell? What if that spouse is elderly and frail; how will a forced sale and a move affect him or her? Especially in long-term relationships, have the parties made oral agreements about sharing assets in the event of a dissolution, or about will provisions for a surviving partner, or does one party think such an agreement exists? Is an oral agreement of this type enforceable? How can the wealthy partner protect his or her assets from a meritless claim? How can the disadvantaged party protect him- or herself from a change of heart?
