Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Massachusetts

The long and the short of this is you should meet with an attorney soon. Are you remaining in the house and does your husband expect to return to the home, when healthy?

The answers really depend on how you own your assets. There are a number of ways in which assets can be protected so that the financial impact on you will be relatively minor. Please feel free to contact me at 781-433-8665 if you would like to discuss this in more detail.

I'm very sorry about your situation. I fully agree with the previous answers. The state will not "come after" you but you need to see an attorney who can assist you in making decisions that will protect your assets as much as possible. You need to do this as soon as possible.

Please call with any questions -

I am also sorry about your situation.
