[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you have issues. If I am reading your thread correctly-your brother lived with your parents, took care of them and I am assuming allowed them to remain in their home (per their wishes). I am assuming a large sum of $$$ would have otherwise gone to hiring a full time nurse/ caretaker for them or towards assisted living costs? Your brother is a saint in my eyes. Moving back home to care for aging parents is not easy (it comes with a number of unseen sacrifices). Is your family life different then your brothers (you have young children or job location requirements)? Did YOU OFFER to reside/take care of your aging parents? If not---you owe it to your brother and parents to give him ample time to transition to his next home.

Something is really wrong with people these days. What happened to basic decency and kindness.[/quote]

The law happened! Have you ever been an executor of an estate? OP's desires and wishes play a very small role. She has a fiduciary responsibility to all the beneficiaries. She can't just decide that the sibling who was living with the parents gets some recompense for that - the other beneficiaries would have a claim against her. (Some states allow this. Not all. The terms of the will would also be relevant.)

Also, to the pps who think the OP is cold for asking about this now, you need to slow your roll. Now is EXACTLY when OP should be asking. If, for example, the law in her state requires her to sell and give the proceeds to the beneficiaries immediately - unless her living parent makes other provisions in his will - then now would be the time to know that. That way she still has a chance of working with her living parent to amend the will to enure that his or her wishes are met. Believe me, this is not stuff you want to have to figure out after your parents die.
