I am torn between caring for her and making sure our children are taken care of and educated.

Caring for his wife is the best way to take care of and especially educate his children. They'll certainly know what love is. No mention of a church helping. No mention of remarriage either.

"The guy needs to talk to an elder care lawyer"

As one who has spent twenty years in accounting in health care, your suggestion is right on the money, so to speak.

Agreed,

I think this guy needs to talk to a better lawyer, this letter smells fishy to me. Elders “hide” millions in assets so they can receive care etc, I suspect that 1) this guy needs a better/different lawyer or 2) this entire thing is a set up by activists and isn’t a real letter at all.

Once you are disabled, you cannot obtain long term care insurance, disability insurance, or life insurance. All must be purchased before you are disabled or ill.

Concur. There are any number of people that feel that they shouldn’t be asked to use their assets to pay for college, healthcare, housing or other things the soicalists have convinced them oaught to be “free”.

Seems like he is torn between money and his wife.

"I also find it morally suspect to spend your children's inheritance before they even get it."

It is not inheritance until they, ...well, inherit it (i.e. you are dead).

until then it is your assets, and if you want to keep them and have taxpayers cover your bills then you are missing the whole point here.

Personally, I think the story is bunk. Why do people try to protect their assets, when you acquire assets for just this type of thing. As sad as your situation is, why should any government agency pay for the care of your wife?
