[quote=Anonymous]OP, why would you think there is a way to agree? Agreement is often not possible. Your situation is not unique. Agreement is usually a problem, between siblings, especially with aging parents.

I suggested that - in recognition of someone doing more work than another - that a log be kept and than some hourly rate be applied which eventually affects inheritance. The truth Op is, if your Mother is as wealthy as you indicate, the actual result of any inheritance difference will probably be small and not significant to you. When I suggested this earlier in the thread, everyone jumped all over this suggestion. But ...

What it would do is recognize your sibling's efforts. I am not saying I think they *should* be handling this problem the way they are, caring for her themselves without paying for outside help. However, it is what it is. You are out-numbered and due to that, it is worth it - to the sibling relationship - to do something concrete to acknowledge their efforts.[/quote]
