[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am on the brothers sides.

This is quite normal in estate distribution. If my parents had $500k and I gave them $100k and they ended up passing away with $400k. I would get $250k and my brother would get $150k. How is that not fair?

The most equitable thing is to pay your brother back what they put in, then split 1/3 after they have been paid.[/quote]

Ok then my brothers can pay me an hourly rate for all the additional time I spent caregiving.

Also if we were talking about sums that big, I would absolutely agree with you. But we aren’t. It’s a tiny amount.

I also think there’s something to the notion that a relative distributed their estate the way they want. Why shouldn’t they be allowed to make a gift to a less well-off heir?  Or distribute it equally? Isn’t that really common?

Caregiving definitely should be taken into account. Maybe I missed that. If was the wealthy brother and wrote a check but never did anything else, I would expect part of my money to go towards your caregiving once the dust settles.

Caregiving is much harder than stroking a check; depending on the size of the check..[/quote]
