I'm a journalist, doing a story about the financial and estate-planning implications of getting married in your golden years (60s, 70s, 80s). I'm looking for sources and hope interested readers might respond. There are many things you have to plan for when you're heading to the altar later in life. What effect might the marriage have on estate plans? When do you need a prenuptial agreement? What happens to the adult children's inheritance when one spouse dies? What are the health care decisions older couples need to consider when getting married? If you know of anyone going through something like this or who's had to deal with these issues, I'd love to hear from you. Email: lscherzer@smartmoney.com.

I think that the marriage is a lottery. To expect the future - it is impossible. All depends on that as you were brought up by your parents. __Your questions are valid but more complicated when you are caring for your mother-in-law who has Alzheimer.___________________________________
