I agree that you can protect her legally by a written agreement stating the understanding along with all terms & conditions. I also agree 189.60% with Kathy that convincing her is an entirely different issue.
Property issues and disputes makes fascinating reading because of all the terminology, legal aspects, if this –than that – but not this or that, and even fraud that’s gone on over the years. When rumors, misunderstandings, and sometimes just plain old out dated thinking enters the picture; it can prevent a good person from doing the good thing. One suggestion would be to have her find an attorney she fully trust to look after and act in her exclusive interest, and offer to just pay the bill.
