[quote=Anonymous]The thing with the elderly is, it's pretty hard to just walk away. They get to a point where they really can't fend for themselves physically or cognitively, and if you're not willing to manage their affairs, there's real consequences. If you're willing to just shrug it off and let them get evicted or kicked out of a hospital with no rehab to go to or whatever, well, you're an awfully strong person. If you don't make sure their mortgage and taxes are paid, you're in for some very costly penalties. Do that enough and you lose the house-- then they have nowhere to live, and no asset to cover their assisted living. If you don't set up a medical rehab after they fall, the hospital will still put them out, and their condition will likely worsen. It's one thing to tell them they're only getting every other Christmas and hang up when they yell at you. This is a whole different level. People who haven't been through it don't understand.
