Johnson and Rich want to get married but agreed, for financial reasons, it doesn鈥檛 make sense. Rich receives a pension and free medical care because of her late husband鈥檚 military service. She鈥檇 lose that if she wed <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php> michael kors sale</a> Johnson. 鈥淲hat if something happened to me the next day?鈥?he said. The number of elderly American couples living together without getting married is on the rise. Last year, 711,000 unmarried people over 65 were living with an opposite-sex partner, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That鈥檚 more than 2 1/2 times as many as a decade earlier. 鈥淚t鈥檚 lost nearly all of its stigma,鈥?said Brown, the sociologist. Victoria Powers, an elder law attorney in Portland, said there are some people <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php>Christian Louboutin Outlet</a> whose value systems dictate that they marry, so they make prenuptial agreements to ensure that their assets are passed on to their own children. Other times, she said, people who have been married before don鈥檛 have a desire to do it again, but want their partner to have the same rights as a spouse would. Johnson wants to make sure Rich has a place to live if he dies before she does. So, they鈥檝e been working with a lawyer to grant her the right to stay at his house, and have the money to keep it up, as long as she鈥檚 alive. After that, it would get passed on to Johnson鈥檚 son, and Rich鈥檚 daughter and son would get whatever she leaves behind from her marriage to their father. Children can often be the greatest complicating factor when it comes to legal issues surrounding older adults in new relationships, said Powers. That doesn鈥檛 just have to do with inheritance, she said, but also with who make decisions about their parents鈥?health and what happens to them after they die.
