Elderly Care

Location: SC.
I am a 75-year-old male with Parkinsons (early stages). My wife (age 74) and I have no biological children between us but she has 2 adult children. I am on good terms with her 2 kids but not real close. They are undeniably partial to her. I have 2 adult sisters but they are not very responsible and live about 1,000 miles away. We have no close friends as we ae new to the area where we live. My wife wants us to create wills leaving all of our assets to her 2 kids upon both of our passing. I wouldn’t be so opposed to this except I want to make sure there is a provision in my will for my guardianship should she pass before I do and I become incapacitated due to Parkinsons. She has assured me that if this scenario occurs that her 2 kids will make sure I am cared for. I am not as confident of this as she is. I am a little concerned that her 2 kids will be scarce to me once their mother is gone. So far as I know, she has not spoken about this to them and when I bring it up, she just dismisses me with some statement like “I’m not planning on dying anytime soon” or “I’m believing God is going to heal you of Parkinsons, so you won’t need anyone to take care of you”. Yet, she continues to pressure me about getting a will done to make sure the kids are taken care of.
