Yes, I know where you are coming from since I am trustee for several trusts my parents set up 30 years ago for my brother who cannot manage money. We got our estate planning documents in place last year. My son-in-law's mother however is the type of person who thinks these things will never apply to her. I don't want to stick my nose where it doesn't belong but since he has asked me for guidance, I am trying to convey information to him so that he can discuss it with his mother. The fact that she titled her home as JTWROS just didn't seem right to me since it would have been a lot easier if she had set up a revocable living trust and titled the house in the trust. I'm guessing she didn't want a trust because it would cost a lot more to have an attorney draft one, rather than have him draft a deed.
