[WSBAPT] Planning Opportunity?

[Heather de Vrieze]

Are there any simple ways to do tax planning estate planning (credit trust) in the following situation:
Couple long married
Only kids are joint and adults
All assets CP
One spouse lacks capacity and may die soon
No POA of course
Estate larger than WA exemption, smaller than Fed Exemption.

I expect were there a guardian appointed, it might be possible to get authority to create a trust, but there may not be time for that.
Any ideas?
