[quote=Anonymous]Yes, if an adult child provides care/labor for the parent it is absolutely fair that they get paid from the parent's money/estate. In my family, my brother is the one that does this. He and my dad live on the west coast and my other sibling and I live thousands of miles away on the east coast. My dad does not live in my brother's house; he lives in an assisted living facility. But my brother has still needed to help my dad with things like bill paying, driving to appointments and errands, and even just helping him to find this assisted living and arranging the move in, etc. My brother receives $37/hr for labor (such as driving my dad to an appointment) and $47/hr for financial help (such as helping my dad pay his bills.) My brother does not provide help with things like bathing or any type of medical care. If my dad needed help like that we'd hire someone.[/quote]
