[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, she should not inherit half. If you are putting up with 90% of the eldercare aggro, you should get 90% of the money.[/quote]

There is a lot more time and history to their family than a few years of eldercare, and taking care of someone is a gift, not a quid pro quo (I say this with 2 deceased parents and multiple siblings).

I have dealt with (and still am dealing with) more than "a few years" of eldercare, with no help from siblings, and it is a huge emotional, physical, and financial burden.

If one sibling is forced to give the "gift" of their time, as well as their emotional, physical, and financial resources, then the siblings who are not doing anything should give the "gift" of relinquishing any claim to the parental estate. [And make no mistake about it, when your siblings live thousands of miles away, yes you are forced to help. It's not really a gift if you're not allowed to refuse to give it.]

All the "time and history" before the eldercare years does not entitle the OP's sister to any money, let alone an automatic 50%. [/quote]
