you better MAKE sure you have paperwork crap IN ORDER.
your POA's have to be witnessed by TWO people (not related)
and notarized
and then, filed with the local court.

IIRC, you need a general POA, a Durable POA, and a healthcare POA
and a DNR or whatever you want done if you are on life support.

it's a SITUATION when they are not.

in other words, Pay a lawyer now to do them...so you don't have to pay a lawyer to UNDO what your family does

Even though my parents had a will all done up by a lawyer, it was 1 year until the corrupt court system gave everything in my moms name to him officially....and it cost thousands to do so... If he didnt have a will it may have been 2 years, 10x the court costs and way more headache. Granted communist connecticut is likely way worse with this than south carolina...

if you know someone is going to die....you need to discuss having them sign everything over NOW.

a buddy passed, it took ~10 hours worth of work at the DMV to get one truck title switched over.

you may be suprised how difficult it will be for your wife to take official ownership even if she is only surviving direct family.

Everything goes to her legally, there wouldn't be any difficulties, it's the law.

that very well may be the case here in sc...but in ct a certain amount of time had to pass to allow for anybody to contest (even though there was a will in that instance...) and then judges had to sign stuff etc etc
