A request for info from people in Alabama. Re: Senior Citizens
My mother-in-law resides in Alabama. She has been told that if she were to have to go to assisted living, the State would seize all of her assets and use them to pay the expenses incurred at the facility. She is wondering if she needs to disperse her assets prior to that happening. I have no clue how things work in Alabama and would greatly appreciate any insight any of you could give me. She is scared to death that she will lose her assets to the State if she does not do something prior to that time coming (that is if she ever has to go to a facility). I let her know we would take care of her and she always has a place, but we all know how some people feel about their independence and kudos to them for that.
I look forward to the responses and thank everyone in advance.
