[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to protect their estate from the estate recovery! This is all you can do I think. [/quote]

Given how late it sounds like OP's parents are in the game here, it is probably too late for that.[/quote]

Yes, and I tried much earlier. My aunt told my mother that I was trying to steal their money  :roll: My mother was too afraid to make a change. My father had them invested in high risk. So stupid

They now have 7 grand left. 4 or which will go to taxes and HOA fees this month. They also need a new hot water heater. The good thing is they can quality for help when they have less than 2 grand in savings. None of this needed to happen. None.[/quote]

What are they applying for? Sounds like they are both still in their home, yes?[/quote]

Applying to see if they qualify for my sister to be a paid caregiver to them[/quote]

So she would be the caregiver, but remain in the home? Aren't they nearly depleted of funds? Having your sister compensated would be great, but how does covering their other expenses work? [/quote]

OP, doesn't this set your sister up as a dependent eventually when she will not have had a job outside caregiver? Someone with OCD will struggle particularly with so much in the situation that cannot be controlled and it sounds like she has no support or respite of her own. It may temporarily solve the caregiver issue but burn her out faster and harm her own independence prospects long term.

It in no way addresses the fact that they are basically out of money and the house is becoming uninhabitable. What is the plan for that? [/quote]
