[quote=Anonymous]Why do you want to see the paperwork?  I feel like I"m missing something here.  It reads to me like you don't want any contact with your sibling, nor any responsible (for very legit reasons, I"m not judging).  Parents have told you you don't.  I don't see why you'd need to see the paperwork if your concern is that you're not a part of things - not sure how you could be forcibly made a part of things in this scenario.  Are you worried about money being left to you?  Sufficient money to take care of elderly parents?  Decision making for your elderly parents?

I think in your scenario my concern would be the period of time from now til the will, not after the will.  What if your parents are no longer able to stay in their home? How will that be handled?  Who will have power of attorney once your parents become more disabled, if that happens?  Who is their fallback for care now, for them?  So, if they aren't able to stay in the home - who makes that decision, who signs the paperwork with assisted living or nursing home, who kicks Jenny out, and where does her support come from, pre will?

Can Jenny wrestle control of your parents while they are still alive.  That is the concern, I think.  Not once they're gone.  [/quote]
