Oct 28, 2019 · To put it more simply, a care custodian could surreptitiously marry a dependent adult, keep the marriage a secret, and then claim a share of the adult’s estate once they pass away. Such a care custodian could also convince their dependent adult spouse to amend their trust to leave their estate to the care custodian, and no presumption of undue influence would attach to that transfer.

Before I proceed I should explain that I shall purposely be trying to limit the amount of law in this post.

It all boils down to the concept of ‘fairness’. The problem, of course, is that two perfectly reasonable people might have quite different ideas of what is fair.

Matrimonial assets include everything you or your spouse have, whether in joint or sole names, such as the family home (including any outstanding mortgage), pensions, savings, investments, shares, businesses, vehicles and jewellery.
All contributions to the marriage, including child rearing, are considered in the financial settlement. When examining the split of all assets, the starting point is 50/50. However, the Court has broad discretion and will consider all aspects of your case with a primary focus on provision for children and housing needs.

Dec 14, 2019 · The Record-Bee reports that California Probate Code has protections in place to prevent undue influence on the part of care custodians, and as of late June of 2019, that protection has become stronger.
