Joaquin Page was $80$ years old when he was released from the hospital with a life expectancy of only a few months. After he returned home, his daughter Kara Montoya, and his niece Bridget Wilkes, took care of him. Montoya and Wilkes both had good relationships with Page but did not have a good relationship with each other. Montoya lived approximately two hours away and so helped when she could make it to town. Page repeatedly asked Montoya to move in with him, even before he was sick, and often told Montoya that she should move in because the house would be hers someday. Page also told his other children and several friends that the home was going to belong to Montoya but that he did not want her to sell the home. Due to work and other commitments Montoya could not move to the family home.
