[quote=Anonymous]OP, two PPs have offered good advice on how to get ahead as best as you can in advance of when your parents start to decline. These types of convos are perfectly normal to be occurring now and some families have already done so (in case your parents balk a bit). My siblings and I had some challenges in handling some matters with our parents and we had POA, etc. Fortunately we were all on the same page and able to handle the hiccups. You may not be in that same circumstance so best to get going as soon as possible.

You may want to read up on the next phases before you broach the conversation (POA, what Medicare does/n't cover, etc). Knowing all the variables may help the discussions go more smoothly as well as provide a framework to move forward. While your situation seems tricky, transparency is usually the best mode. Ideally you and your brother can get on the same page for at least some of this. Your inheritance may not be viable, but far worse for you to have to assume your parents' financial responsibilities if that really isn't necessary.

Good luck![/quote]
