The three adult children of radio host Casey Kasem have filed a legal petition to gain control of his health care.
The filing says Kasem is suffering from advanced Parkinson’s disease and is being isolated from his children, friends and family members by his wife.

Trusts are not ‘all that’ either. We have been in court going on 3 yrs now about one.
Once father in law started getting dementia hubby’s sister took FIL down and had him change the trust putting her in charge of everything. She then had him declared incompetent and stole every dime. We got her last accounting the other day. Over $700 thousand dollars and she says that the estate is broke except for a $150k house and when that is sold the estate owes her $7200. In 2 1/2 years.
Sad but too true.
Gotta love that. Dublin is in England?

Trusts however are usually superior to wills.
