[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how many posters who call this a "bad plan" are actually primarily responsible for their aging parents' day-to-day care?  i have a hunch none of you are.  It seems to me that this is an excellent plan, that OP should be exceedingly grateful to her sister and BIL, and that OP might consider offering to pitch in some money herself to help make it happen.  Why is it so important that OP's mom not "overpay" for an extremely convenient house that guarantees her proper and close care and security as she ages?

You armchair quarterbacks are really too much.     [/quote]

+1. I agree that OP should help with the $100K that her mom has to cover for the home.  That is the least she should do given the sacrifice her sister is making.  Living next to a parent and caring for them is not an easy task.  Money is easy to produce but time is the real deal.[/quote]

Why should OP do this?  This plan makes no senses.  Mom has a house and if anything should go to an apartment or something cheaper, not more expensive.  This is a terrible plan all around and a bad idea.  [/quote]
