[quote=Anonymous]OP - I think you're getting a bad rep here.
To wonder about your parents' financial situation and how it may impact is perfectly reasonable. Nor do I think it is unreasonable to discuss it with them.

But as you mentioned, it is important to remember that you have no idea if that money will be around by the time it is a real issue. Nor do you know what you will want to do with it. You may find that you are financial secure when your parents leave you money, but want to pass it along to a charity or your disabled sibling. So you might be curious, but it may be irresponsible (on your part) to plan for it.

-- -- -- I knew my mother had a little money when she became ill; I honestly thought I would be excited about the money. When she passed away after an illness, I was distraught and devastated at the reminder of her passing. It was almost one year before I could get the paperwork together to settle the accounts where I was named benefiaciary - then another year to cash the checks.[/quote]
