What is the name of your state? NY
My wife is contemplating a divorce. We are not legally separated, but I have moved out.
When my father died in 1997, I helped my mother consolidate her bank accounts and investments and added my name to her accounts in order to have access if she became incapacitated. What rights does my wife have to these assets should we divorce? Is the wording of her will important?
