Lady with sementia has problem-solving issues and memory issues. For financial purposes, can she marry her domestic partner of 30+ years? She will be living in a nursing facility because her partner can no longer care for her. (She has her own adult children and they are supportive of them getting married.) Can she marry him?
In Canada, if they have been living together for 30 years it is automatically a Common Law Marriage. In Canada Common Law Marriages are under Provincial Laws, not Federal.
My mother was a marriage commissioner and I know of one person who has dementia, but was able to make her own decisions, who got married to her long term partner. Dementia does not always make a person unable to make a legal decision.
It is important to discuss with an Attorney the reasons for a marriage now and what impact that will have on finances for both of them.
