[quote=Anonymous]Traditions of inheritance could provide guidance for care for the elderly. In one country where some of my ancestors were from, elderly parents would transfer the family farm to the eldest son when they couldn’t handle it. Then he (and his wife, especially) were responsible for their care as they aged in that family home. Younger siblings didn’t inherit land (they might possibly get some money when the parents died) but also weren’t responsible for elder care. I’m not commenting on whether this was a good or bad system, but expectations were clear.[/quote]
