Answered 12 years and 11 months ago by Ms. Susan Green Taylor (Unclaimed Profile)   |   9 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy

The best estate planning you could do for them might be to file bankruptcy and then sell the home. The availability of the homestead exemption might be clouded by the fact that they are now residing in assisted living. Proceed cautiously.... Read More

If his name is not on title to the vehicle, then he has no ownership interest in the vehicle and it need not be listed.  If he is making payments on the vehicle, however, then you must disclose to whom the payments are being made, and why.  It sounds to me like he is leasing the vehicle from you, so you should have a separate lease agreement with him for that purpose.

If you signed the cardholder agreement, and your fiancee is merely an authorized user, then you are (pursuant to applicable state law) 100% liable for the debts on that card.  Your fiancee may owe YOU for the money he charged on your card and he may also owe discover card for the charges he made and signed for.  But none of that changes YOUR liability. If he files a bankruptcy case, and receives a discharge of his debts, it will do just that:  discharge HIS obligation to pay on his debts.  You will remain liable for any debts you were liable for prior to that.

Regarding your wife, her claims against her employer are limited to workers compensation. But, she may also have a claim against another defendant depending on how she was injured. For example, if a product was defective and caused her injury she could have claims against the manufacturer and distributor of the product. You, as her husband, may have a claim for loss of consortium (her inability to have sexual relations and otherwise contribute to the marriage). She would need to amend her workers compensation claim, and you would file a third party claim in the workers compensation matter.... Read More
