Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:

The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
If you have a spouse and children they inherit first. A wife gets a % and children get the rest. If you don't want your siblings to inherit, you need a Will stipulating who your want to inherit. You can put a clause in there that because you have never been close to your siblings, they will not inherit. You can put in a clause that anyone contesting the Will will get nothing. In my opinion, my siblings aren't entitled to any inheritance. According to below, siblings are last in line. So I don't see where they feel they will inherit.
This is in NJ if there is no Will:
"If you lack a spouse or children, your parents inherit everything. Without a spouse, children, or parents, your siblings inherit everything. A spouse inherits everything if no children, parents, or siblings are present. If you have children but no spouse, the children inherit everything."
I am just onery enough that I would leave each one a dollar and put a clause that anyone trying to contest my will would then lose any inheritance.
Then I would hire a certified elder law attorney as my POA and executor.
They would be notified of the reading of the will, show up with greed in their hearts and go home feeling like you got the last word. Sucks to be them!
But that's me because I believe that inheritance is a gift and we should NEVER worry or want what others have.
It's possible that under your state law, if you die without a will and you have no other relatives alive -- parents, children, siblings -- they would be considered next of kin and received what you have left. The solution to this is to get a valid will done by a lawyer and naming an executor and a back-up executor, leaving what you have to whoever you want.
Princess, you are computer literate, so do look up "holographic will + your state". If these are legal in your state, then the simple writing of your own will as to who you leave your things to can be done in your own home. You would add specifically a notation saying that you do not wish any of your assets or possession to go to (and write in their names).
I am a bit curious how you full well know these 1/2 siblings are sitting like vultures outside your door, yet they have had for some time no contact with you?
Best thing for you to do of course would be to attend an attorney session and have written a very simple will leaving your assets to whomever, or whatever organization or charity you wish to. Good luck!
Why, then, have you never made a will stipulating where you would like things to go. If you have bank accounts you can simply add on a POD (pay on death) friend of something. Can you tell us why you have no will?
