A dear friend of ours has stomach cancer and is worried about the debt he will leave for his wife once he is gone. (there is a very slim chance he will survive this, it is stage 4 cancer)

His wife is obsessed with not being in debt, has skimped on his treatment and medications, and has gone into a state of panic about saving every dime she can. As his friends we could give two hoot about the financial aspect and just want to see our friend survive as long as possible with the best care possible along with the best quality of life. All these financial worries have stressed him out and he gets sicker by the day, and now thinks he is not worth the cost of this treatment, and through it all still loves his wife dearly. (amazing) Is there any legitimate legal way for this man's wife to have their assets put into a separate account so that the expense of his hospital bills won't deplete their life savings? They have health insurance which will cover approximately 1 million dollars in cancer treatment, but they have already used approximately 25% of that plan, they also have a supplement insurance that has paid approx $20,000 towards expenses.

  2. Well you don't list the State, but I'll still assume that NO there is nothing that can be done. Thing is she is married to him so she would STILL be responsible for his debts when he is dead. Even in a seperate account the hospital would go after HER, so where would she "hide" it?
