"Can anyone confirm that Terri's Doctor was the brother to Mr. Jergen, partner in the Jergen/Centonze Insurance Agency?" ----- aaahhhh. I'm not finding things in my google search that I know should be there. I'll see if can find something for that, too. tutstar had previously turned up the official FL business records for the "Jerger Centzone Insurnace Agency", but I cannot find it now.

Fund for Schiavo's medical care dwindles

Under Florida law, Schiavo will inherit his wife's money when she dies. Had he divorced her and let her parents become her guardians, there's a chance he would get nothing and possibly have to give up some of the money he was awarded from the lawsuit.

Jane Grossman, a St. Petersburg family lawyer, said a court determines what is a marital asset during a divorce. Money awarded to a spouse for past damages or expenses is considered a marital asset because those things happened during the marriage. That money can be divided.

But compensation for future loss of earning capacity and future medical expenses belongs solely to the injured spouse, according to a 1998 2nd District Court of Appeal ruling.

In this case, Schiavo is both Mrs. Schiavo's husband and guardian and gets the money either way.
