Hopefully, I'm putting enough money back for retirement to cover a catostophic senario such as the one you mentioned. If it cuases my children to not get any inheritance money, so be it!
The special savings account that I mentioned could help a little. This is over and above my retirement savings.
If I live to be over 80 years old, there is a 50% chance I will need a nursing home at some time.

Of course I am not familiar with your laws & such, but I do pray that God guides you in whatever decision that you make!
Of course long life & good health won't hurt either!
