[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on how long Mom lives.  Right now we are
paying around $95,000 per year on caregivers in 
Mom's home.[/quote]

Wow.   :shock: [/quote]

NP, with similar situation (and annual cost).  The high cost of senior living care is a simple fact, so I don't see why is it bad to point out the significant impact is has on inheritance - no one (except that one MIL PP) is saying they prefer the $ over the parent.

Also to those talking about this as being terrible to discuss - MANY aging parents openly talk about their will and retirement savings/trusts with their children so they don't have to guess what their wishes were when they pass away.  My parents and my spouses parents have discussed their Will with us almost every other year - and based on anticipated spending in retirement have estimated what should be left and how they'd like to see those funds dispersed.  It might seem morbid at first, but it's no uncommon when your parents exceed 75yrs old.[/quote]

Yep. My parents have a document on the desktop of their computer that has all of the information we will need when they die. They also have a hard copy of that document in their file cabinet. They have gone through the entire thing with us. This is the responsible thing to do. [/quote]
