Aging Mother “abandoning” Wheelchair-bound Boyfriend
Location: Tennessee, USA
Hello, my sibling and I are observing a somewhat unique situation with our 70-year-old retired mother and are wondering about legal implications. Our mom lives with her 80-year-old boyfriend, an amputee with one leg who uses a wheelchair to get around (illness = diabetes). She lives with him in a single family home in Tennessee. She and Boyfriend bought the house together years ago but he recently signed it over to her. Mom has found a new boyfriend in Florida and travels there extensively; she maybe goes home to TN briefly once every few months. She plans to stay away even longer in the future, but has no plans to sell her house or kick out Boyfriend 1.
Our concern is that some sort of medical event (a fall, stroke, perhaps even death) could happen to Boyfriend 1 while he’s alone. Obviously that’s our moral concern, but we are also wondering if Boyfriend 1’s adult children (who live in Indiana and don’t help with their father at all) would have any sort of legal recourse against our (erratic and foolish) mother, if such an event were to happen.
I realize this may be a dumb question as no one is legally obligated to care for their live-in romantic partner, but we are just concerned for Boyfriend 1’s sake. (I live on the other side of the country, my sibling lives close by and will check on Boyfriend 1 occasionally.)
