However, the couple had already amassed a large amount of debt paying for expensive Alzheimer’s medication and household bills.</p> <p>Daphne first learned about Nevada Legal Services (NLS) at an outreach event in a small retirement city on the border of Utah. NLS attorneys agreed to help by first obtaining an adult guardianship over both Ed’s person and estate, just in time for Daphne to begin making important medical decisions for Ed.</p> <p>NLS was able to file and obtain a Chapter 7 bankruptcy for the couple regarding nearly $80,000 in unsecured debt, even though the case was somewhat complicated given Ed’s diminished mental capacity which prevented him from participating in mandatory credit counseling and financial management classes.</p> <p>Only a few months after NLS obtained guardianship, Ed suddenly needed to be admitted into a long-term care facility for both his and Daphne’s safety. Prior to the bankruptcy being discharged, Ed passed away at the age of 87.</p> <p>NLS was still able to have the couple’s debts discharged, which provided Daphne much needed peace of mind and a fresh start. She has often told NLS that they were her saving grace; without their assistance during those difficult years, she could not have been afforded the precious time she had left with Ed.</p> <p><em>*Names have been changed</em></p></div> </div> </div> <div class="field__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--full-image paragraph--full-image--default paragraph--type--full-image paragraph--view-mode--default" id="full_image" data-title="full image" data-original-title="full image"> <div class="field field--name-field-unique-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"><article class="media media--type-image media--view-mode-full"> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">Image</div> <div class="field__item"> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/large_image_1136x760/public/images/2019/06/senior-veteran.jpg?itok=7GSywLck" width="606" height="760" alt="senior-veteran.jpg" loading="lazy" class="image-style-large-image-1136x760"> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-client-stories field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field field--name-field-client-stories field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items field__tags"> <a href="/taxonomy/term/192" hreflang="en">Veterans</a> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-topics field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field field--name-field-topics field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items field__tags"> <a href="/taxonomy/term/119" hreflang="en">Veterans</a> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-state-or-territory field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/68" hreflang="en">Nevada</a></div> Fri, 14 Aug 2015 17:43:30 +0000 admin 2522 at
