[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The care is on MIL. Just know that she gets everything. And her kids. Your DH is most likely SOL. [/quote]

That may be true, but my advice is that OP's DH and siblings pay nothing towards their father's care nor funeral expenses without seeing the will. OP, I get why you are concerned and watched my parents/aunt deal with a mess with their stepmother when their father died. He was younger and it was very unexpected so nothing was laid out. His wife asked my dad and aunt to pay a part of his funeral expenses, and in the shock of the moment they did, while she knew that he already had that covered with life insurance. DH may not have a legal right to see any of this but he also has no obligation to pay for his care unless he understands their financial situation.

As an aside, I think its crazy that aging parents don't have this conversation with their kids, especially when there are stepfamilies involved. Death is guaranteed and people always avoid talking about it. It leaves so many families in disarray after someone dies and I don't want that to happen when I go. I don't think that your concern is selfish at all OP. I think it's smart, especially after having lived through it.[/quote]
