[quote=Anonymous]The moment when they could move themselves was 10 years ago, OP. They only seem competent because they're stuck in their routine. Any time they are forced out of it, they won't manage well. You need to do EVERYTHING for them. Find the nursing home, move them with their essentials, secure the paperwork and valuables you want the family to keep, then hire an estate sale company who will sort through the stuff in the house and sell it while the property is up for sale. You can look up estate sale companies in your parents' area. But you need to present this as something you can easily do, and they shouldn't worry (they will, because they have nothing else to do). And they might still fight you every step of the way. The key is to understand that they cannot do anything themselves anymore, even if they insist they can, and persist in trying to intervene.[/quote]
