Wife’s Opinion Regarding Divorce Controls Despite Her Incapacity

Newsletter, Tucson Elder LawBy Robert FlemingOctober 31, 2010

NOVEMBER 1, 2010 VOLUME 17 NUMBER 34 It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. An elderly couple, with one spouse slipping mentally, contemplates divorce. Perhaps the well spouse is simply unable to cope. Perhaps both are compromised mentally and/or medically. Perhaps there are long-term care issues involved. Perhaps the spouse with mental failings has…

“Vest Pocket” Deed Is Valid to Transfer Family Farmland

Newsletter, Tucson Elder LawBy Robert FlemingOctober 24, 2010

OCTOBER 25, 2010 VOLUME 17 NUMBER 33 It has been a while since we wrote about “vest pocket” deeds.

OCTOBER 18, 2010 VOLUME 17 NUMBER 32 Three weeks ago we wrote about how to leave an IRA (or other qualified retirement plan) to a special needs trust for your child who has a disability. Two weeks ago we wrote about whether you should (and how you would) name any trust as beneficiary of an…

OCTOBER 11, 2010 VOLUME 17 NUMBER 32 Imagine this: you have a long-standing history of philanthropy and community involvement.

Newsletter, Tucson Elder LawBy Robert FlemingOctober 3, 201016 Comments

OCTOBER 4, 2010 VOLUME 17 NUMBER 31 Last week we wrote about how you can go about leaving your IRA (or 401(k), 403(b), etc.) to a child with a disability. In passing we mentioned that the discussion about how to leave your IRA to any trust could wait for another day. Today is that day.…

Draft Will Is Almost (But Not Quite) Admitted to Probate

Newsletter, Tucson Elder LawBy Robert FlemingSeptember 19, 2010

SEPTEMBER 20, 2010 VOLUME 17 NUMBER 29 There is a lot of mythology, misunderstanding and just plain confusion about wills and probate. Sometimes the reported cases don’t help clarify what makes a will valid, when it is subject to challenge or even what might be a will. The general rule is clear, and ancient. The…

SEPTEMBER 6, 2010 VOLUME 17 NUMBER 28 The question addressed in a ruling last month by the Arizona Court of Appeals seems provocative. In a lawsuit based on the Arizona law prohibiting abuse, neglect or exploitation of vulnerable adults, does the very life of the abused senior have any intrinsic value? The Court’s answer: perhaps,…

Two kinds of special needs trusts

Distinguishing Two Kinds of Special Needs Trusts

Newsletter, Tucson Elder LawBy Robert FlemingAugust 22, 2010

AUGUST 23, 2010 VOLUME 17 NUMBER 27 It really is unfortunate that we didn’t see this problem coming. Those of us who pioneered special needs trust planning back in the 1980s should have realized that we were setting up everyone (including ourselves) for confusion. We should have just given the two main kinds of special…
