Hi All;
It's likely that my elderly Mother will soon need to go into a Memory Care facility, as it's been determined she can no longer live on her own.
Background: Her home (that she owned with my late father since 1959) is paid off. In the late 90s, she and Dad had a trust created...

88 year old Mom is likely to be given an Alzheimer's diagnosis soon. She's having severe memory issues and her paranoia is getting worse by the day. My oldest sister is staying with Mom temporarily (?) and reported that Mom has placed a rifle by the front door and a handgun by the side door...
We purchased our current home (that sits on an acre) in late 2011 from ING bank, as the property had been foreclosed. There was a 6' block wall in place surrounding the backyard when we bought it. The previous owner (who lost it to the bank) is the one who had the wall built on the West and...

Jack, I have some questions that are directly in your wheelhouse. My 2015 Equinox is likely totaled after some knucklehead thought I had a stop sign and he darted out in front of me yesterday. I wasn't able to avoid him; my car's right front end is mostly caved in.
So here's...

Hi All;
Trying to help my Mom out with a savings bond question. First, the disclaimer. Although I know it's preferable to have the involved party post their own questions, she is not technologically adept.
Background:
My parents purchased some Series EE...

For my health-benefits gurus out there, I have a question.
I'm familiar with how TRICARE works, which is that coverage for adult children under the age of 26 isn't automatic (they must enroll and pay separate premium), and coverage ends when the child...
@adjusterjack I"m tagging you as our resident expert. Here's the situation.
Last year's monsoon damaged the roof of one of our rental homes. Local contractor (bonded, insured) put in the quote to our insurance company, Safeco. The quote to repair the damage included replacing the decking. In...

State: Arizona.
We (husband and I, plus 4 neighbors) were just served with a lawsuit concerning a "utility easement and equestrian trail" that runs along the back of our properties.

So darling husband (DH) was hit this morning: both driver's side doors are damaged, there's a half-dollar-sized dent/crease in the rear quarter panel, and neither door opens/closes properly.
Good news: he doesn't feel like he...
Kaza, your other thread is closed, but I wanted to address the Tricare/ChampVA difference. Unless he is retired from Active Duty (medically retired would have the same effect), you son will NOT be covered by Tricare. And only if your ex is 100%, permanently disabled will your son be covered by...
