types. I know Canadian laws are different from the US ones and there are also state/provincial differences as well. There must be some underlying principles that cover these kind of situations. My wife's aunt has been committed to an Alzeimer's care home by her husband. They have no children. He has a lot of education and she has a lot less. He has bought a motor home and will be resuming his yearly snowbird trip to the Southern US this fall by himself this time.
Now the question is this. If he finds another woman and gets remarried(assuming he divorces his Alzeimer's wife first of course), what recourse does she have to half of her ex hushand's estate? Because she is not of sound mind anymore and he would have had power of attorney over his first wife's entitlement. Can my wife's family act on her behalf to ensure she is looked after in the event of a divorce settlement?
Apparently he is paying $3-4k per month to the Alzeimer's home to support her.
Perhaps that is the only obligation then? Thanks in advance!
