Abstract:

Persuading couples pondering these options to think carefully is the author’s analysis of what to consider when deliberating either possibility. Issues Mason discussed emphasized how moving in together, whether as significant others or spouses, could impact the couple and their loved ones, particularly in the long term. The issues: power of attorney and health care advance directives; social security benefits; long term care (nursing) and Medicaid planning; income and transfer taxes; the family home; elective share and year’s allowance statutes; intestacy.
