Husband is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease currently, he is also a life long paranoid schizophrenic with delusions. He lives in an independent care facility and has no POA or conservator. We have been married 28 years and the house I live in was transferred to him by his mother years ago, with no mortgage.
Due to his mental illness at the time, his was the only name listed on the deed. Now due to a misunderstanding a month ago, he has decided I am a villainous xyz..won't speak to me, he's going to divorce me and most recently he has thought about selling the house I am living in because I won't leave voluntarily (been here 15 years and no rent/mortgage). A house flipping company called offering 10k for the house and he's considering it due to the above reason.
My question is, what legal ramifications do I have? Can he sell the house?
How's he paying for his ILF?
If he won't speak to you, how do you know all this?
If he is acutely ill (mentally) at the moment, he shouldn't be able to form a contract - or break a contract, by getting divorced, come to that. He'll have to wait 'til he's better. But if you've had enough too, and in any case just to know where you stand, I agree it would be best to get professional advice looking to the future.
I have to tell you, Milly that what you need now is a good Elder Law Attorney. Try to get one for an hour of time, simply tell him or her on the phone that there are certain legal questions you have that will take no more time than that. Tell him or her what you have told us.
This is a forum of folks involved in elder care. We may not live in your state, nor know its laws, and we surely aren't, most of us, experts in this particular question. When you need a medical expert you need a doc. When you need a legal expert you need a lawyer. When you need financial expertise you need a CPA or accountant. You just cannot afford to be led astray by the advice of strangers on social media.
Please see an attorney. Know I wish you the very very best of luck. This is such a worrisome situation.
I would suggest an Elder Care Attorney.
If your husband is cognizant then in all probability he can sell the house. (was the house titled to him BEFORE you married or after? That might be an important detail)
Who has been paying all the bills since he has not been living there? If you have I am wondering if it is possible to recoup that money.
Do not waste any time getting a lawyer
