[quote=Anonymous]DH's parents are entering their mid-80s. One has dementia, fortunately very affable, and lives at home. The other is still quite active. Perhaps not as sharp as they were two years ago, but sharper than probably 95% of people their age. They've had daytime help and now need to move to 24/7 in order for the one with dementia to remain at home.

The round the clock care will become a significant drain on resources. For now they are comfortable, but it will add up over time. In addition to cash/stocks, there is a house and a vacation house. DH has indicated that he will help parents if they run out of cash, including selling their real estate. BiL has made it clear he is banking on an inheritance. DH wonders if he is obligated to pay him out for his share of the vacation house (the current plan is for DH to buy him out if DH chooses to keep vacation house) if they have to sell ALL the real estate to care for their parents.

Basically, if they have to sell EVERYTHING to care for the parents and DH even ends up subsidizing, is DH still on the hook to pay out for vacation house even if all the funds were use to care for parents?  [/quote]
