[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does SIL feel about having to provide care?[/quote]

Op here, unwilling and not happy that she’s being asked. [/quote]

Well, she did get a house at 60% of its value …[/quote]

57% and SIL/BIL now have the consequences of their decision.    And SIL knew their stuff was still in the master bedroom.  At 700K for a SFH I guess wherever it is the extra 300k would have put them in a condo or been used for care or assisted living.   So will the inlaws and BIL/SIL be asking OP/DH for $ for care?

[/quote]

OP here. MIL/FIL have zero plan for care, absolutely zero. No POA, living will, healthcare directive or savings/plan for long term care.

No acceptance that MIL will continue to deteriorate and need some kind of care or assisted living. They thought they would live out their lives in the rural cabin. MIL does not have the capacity to be left alone and is a seizure risk. Not to mention she’s a cancer survivor, has epilepsy, gastroparesis, and a chronic degenerative disease. They’ve known for 15+ years about her diagnosis. I’m not a medical provider, but in my personal experience physicians usually have some kind of conversation about what to word expect? FIL treats every health episode as a crisis and not as just the ongoing reality of MIL’s decline. [/quote]
