Re: Remarried, depressed and lonely
If your father also shares your concern about protecting his estate for his five children then he can execute, along with a prenup, a will or trust to insure his assets go to his children. A durable health care power of attorney can also authorize one of the five children to make medical decisions on his behalf if he is unable to do so.
