[quote=Anonymous]I think the mother should pay the care-giving sister a modest stipend, and then split the estate 50/50. I say this from experience, only that I am the "less helpful" sister. (Don't get me wrong, I still do plenty, but my sister does more due to my slight disability that makes lifting hard for me. So sis takes Mom to the doctors and on errands, as it involves assisting her from the wheelchair to the car and such.) I suggested to Mom that she pay sis, and at first Mom was reluctant. She kept saying it should be 50/50, but I said I was fine with it - and in fact it made me more comfortable since my sister is devoting more time. But I insisted, and so she did. I would rather my sister have a bit more money to avoid any resentment she might otherwise feel (although I didn't detect any). So, my advice is to pay a minimal stipend to the caregiver.[/quote]
