[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel as though it is not really a rude thing to ask. From what I've read on here, everyone is attempting to put down the OP and make them feel like dirt, however it is nice to be able to plan ahead. I am in the middle of this conversation with one of my parents now. To make it complicated, there is a new step-mother and multiple businesses involved. If I can't be told what is going to happen one way or another, [b]I may or may not end up with nearly a half-million in debt that I never anticipated.[/b] This is a heck of a ticket to drop on anybody[/quote]

Since children don't inherit parents' debts or obligations, I fail to see how any debt you accrue to yourself could ever be described as "unanticipated."  You mean you won't be able to pre-spend their money unless you know how much it is.  That's why PPs are against asking.  It's a completely different thing to ask to make sure that your parents will be taken care of during their life, that end-of-life costs will be covered.  [/quote]
