[quote=Anonymous]OP, if discussing this upsets them, drop it. Don't spend whatever time they have left on this earth arguing with them. Facing mortality really unhinges people so you have to choose your battles. Concentrate your efforts on making sure their wills and other paperwork is in order. This is where the ultimate disposition of their property can be addressed. Do not let them name you or any other family member (especially siblings!) executor of their estate—you need someone emotionally unencumbered in this role. I have known so many surviving children who became estranged from their siblings, got sick (and even died) from the stress. Enjoy your parents. We never know how things will work out, but somehow they always do. I wish I had all the hours of my life back that I've spent worrying in an effort to control things (that were ultimately beyond my control and turned out differently anyway) just because I was scared.
