John Smith recently won a huge pot of money gambling on the casino boats in Council Bluffs, Iowa. As he merrily danced his way across the Missouri River bridge to his Omaha home, his inebriated feet slipped on the railing and he plunged into the raging spring flood many feet below. He did not die, but his mental faculties were forever diminished.
Today, John is no longer able to provide for his minor children, and his wife, Jane, must assume full responsibility for the management of the household. While the Big Muddy did not smear the ink on the casino’s check for $100,000, the bank won’t accept Jane’s endorsement to cash it. Jane contemplates murder because John had used all of the family’s savings to win the pot.
There are, however, several alternatives that can help Jane from following through with her plot to murder poor John.
Find out more...1) While alive and of sound mind, Jane & John could have met with their attorney to draft protective paperwork such as a Will, Power of Attorney, Medical Power of Attorney or Living Will. 2) In lieu of the above paperwork, a judge could appoint persons to make life decisions on John's behalf, a Guardian and a Conservator. 3) If, however, John's condition worsens and he passes on, John's estate would need to be settled. This would be done following default procedures in Probate Court. Or, if John had met with an attorney for Estate Planning prior to death, then John's family can expedite the process by following John's instructions, likely at a much lower expense. |
