[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think your FIL will do this, but you might consider suggesting it to your DH- Sell the vacation property. Use the proceeds to buy a small condo (in a more affordable section of town). Your MiL can’t use it and frankly they need the money. Hire paid caregivers. It doesn’t have to be paid medical sides at this point, but it might be soon. Your MIL needs to be near her team of providers. I’m fairly certain that this will be a hard no from your FIL though. I’m reading between the lines, but it sounds like your FIL grew up with inherited wealth, but didn’t make much or save much of his own so he’s spent down what should have been saved for retirement/chronic health conditions. For you OP- I know you don’t have a lot of input, but you really need to tell your DH to cut the crap with assuming his sister should take over the duties because she either owes them or because she’s a daughter or both.
