[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not pay off the debt except if there was a lien on the house.  I’d help with food and basics.  [/quote]
A HELOC is a lien on the house. And if she’s only making interest payments it’s getting bigger and bigger.[/quote]

So OP MIL has a HELOC and can't pay it.  DH+SIL would each contribute 4 and MIL what out of her assets?  Bottom line is OP never included full details on the amounts.  Also it doesn't appear that the MIL's children are getting the full scope of her finances from tax returns to bank statements to credit cards.

We had a house with early 1950's cabinets.  Most of those were solid wood [same for my parents].  What did MIL do to that kitchen?  They can be cheap renos- new floor [usually had some vinyl], paint cupboards, new counters plus it's likely appliances have been upgraded.  If not it's time for the basic GE type stuff.

Would be nice to pay it off for her but OP is not flush with spare cash. And has no control over weird and silly future spending[/quote]
