[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to see a pro financial planner who specializes in elder care stuff, for yourself and by yourself. You need to get a realistic picture of how things would go in your state, since she'll end up on Medicaid and each state is different we can't really help you with that. A planner can also help you understand your children's options after age 26. And help you understand what happens if someone dies without a will. Basically you have to ask the court to appoint you to deal with basic stuff like condo fees. Your mom is probably experiencing a lot of shame about her body, her aging, her financial situation, and maybe her cognition/memory and her hearing and eyesight. All of those things can make it very difficult to "plan". I agree that it's time and you must press her on it, but there are reasons other than stubbornness and denial. Keep an eye out for them. Are you an only child?[/quote]
