What happens to my daughter when I kick the bucket. She's diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic. Hasn't held a job since she came back to live with me 5 1/2 yrs ago;don't know if she can hold a job. Unless mental agency comes to house to see that she takes her medication...she doesn't take it.
Will she be a perfect candidate for being homeless?
She took over dose of sleeping pills and aspirin last week,now back in mental hospital. Sh's been in mental hospitals many times. I'm her dad.

I'm so sad for you and have an empathy for what you are going through. Your daughter will be able to have someone to take care of her, if you set up a trust for her now. You don't need a lot of money, but be sure any that you do have goes to her for her upkeep. If you have no money, check into mental health establishments, Social Security benefits, SSI, etc. to see what is available so that you will have peace of mind.
Sadly, she could easily slip through the system and become homeless if you don't look into the future needs now. Is there a family member that could push things through for you after you are gone? Not to take her in, but to be sure that she is in a safe place? She may have to be in a psychiatric care home, which is sad, but at least she will be alive and not suicidal.

Yes she will be homeless unless you set something up, some people have given you some sound advise. This is something you must but in order and please don't delay, for the society of this world is not for helping people. Follow the advise of getting a will and trust set up for her this is something you can control to make sure it doesn't happen, continue to show her that you love her and is there for her in the mean time I'll be praying for you. And I want to say thanks for the good advise giving by some, he needs help not stupid remarks.

Unfortunately she probably will end up homeless once you pass unless she is admitted into a mental hospital for good or starts taking her medicine.

i don't envy your position at all and i'm very sorry to hear of your daughter's illness. i think contacting her docter is in order. he will have access to information concerning this. also, stipulations in your will or a trust would be a good idea as well. talk to your personal accountant or banker for those matters. best of luck to you and her.
