It seems I am going to marry in order to extend health insurance benefits to friend/caretaker.
Input on pre-nup, will, letter of instruction? Someone with experience in such?
Any info on forming corporation/business as alternative to marriage?
Khan..I wish I could answer your questions, but I can not.
I know you are considering moving to Florida as you seem to like the area and you have someone there you care about. Instead of cohabitating...perhaps you could consider an assisted living facility near your friend. If there aren't any or are too expensive, perhaps you could rent a small apartment.
You could have a maid come in two or three times a week to clean and perhaps cook some meals for you to freeze.
Wow...that sounds great! Perhaps I should move to Florida...I live in a 55+ apartment community west of Tampa that is part of a complex with elder living (you specify the level of service), assisted living, nursing care, memory care and rehab care. The spouse of one of the residents of our building was living in the nursing home a 5 minute walk away. It worked out great until she passed.
In our apartment community, people can pay to get their laundry done ($10 min/$1 lb), get housekeeping ($50 for 90 min, I think), and get dinner delivered every day from the kitchen that cooks for the expensive side! It's $11 per day, but cheaper if you sign up for the month. My 92 year old neighbor is still living independently in her own apartment because of these services.

Most of that stuff is in Florida as weil, and in addition, we have sinkholes everywhere and a ginormous rodent population in Orlando.Time for a refresher: Texas is infested with scorpions, rattlesnakes, fire ants, crazy raspberry ants, cockroaches on steroids, killer bees, mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, tarantulas, brown recluse spiders, love bugs, swarming crickets, copperheads, cottonmouths, rabid skunks, wild hogs, alligators, oppressive heat & humidity, bleak desolate scenery, dirty beaches, polluted air, dust storms, drought, wildfires, water shortages, recurring floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, rednecks, huge piles of flaming mulch, spontaneously combusting playgrounds, roads hot as flowing lava, the stench of natural and unnatural gasses, amoebic meningitis lurking in area lakes, recurring ebola virus outbreaks, flesh eating bacteria, staggering homeowner insurance rates, unbelievably high property taxes, mandatory death sentences for DUI convictions, polygamous religious sects, and, lest we forget, doesn't look kindly towards Yankees (per Orchidflower).
Most of that stuff is in Florida as well, and in addition, we have sinkholes everywhere and a ginormous rodent population in Orlando.
Is that how the locals refer to the tourists?

Hmmm...on second thought, you may be right. Perhaps I need a maid...and a pool boy.Even with REWahoo's advisory, you may be better off stayiing put.

Worst of all, we have snowbirds
Only if they don't spend enough money to keep our economy booming!
