[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those who say no don't know what it's like to totally enjoy your mother's company and to even want to personally help care for her when that becomes necessary. I know what it's like and it's awesome! My husband loved my mother too, and vice versa. We shared a house for years until many husband and I split up.then my sister and her family moved into the house and lived with mom, which they totally enjoyed as well.

I lived close by the last five years of her life and all four siblings helped with her care and enjoyed her company.

We did not need a lawyer or estate planner to come up with a fair agreement that was no problem even when it came time to divide up her share of the house after she died.[/quote]

I think it's a great idea and would totally live with my mother (if she was still living).  However, you were very lucky from a legal standpoint.  Our family had a situation where it did not go so well -- the sister who was deeded the house in exchange for taking care of her mother dumper her into a crappy nursing home the minute she qualified for Medicaid.  Everyone needs to make sure their interests are protected.  [/quote]
