care of my parents
I have taken total care of my dad since mom passed away March 15, 2008, He is blind, end stage renal disease, dialysis 3 times a week, and has many other health problems. I moved in his house to care for him since my brother and sister will have nothing to do for him. He titled over the mobile home to me back in May stating that this was something he and mom wanted to do. He has left them things as well-My sister got the car, my brother gets some antiques, His will (made back in 1987) states that any money left will be divided between the 3 of us kids. Since they haven’t helped care for him or even been by to see him since mom passes away, is there a charge I an charge his estate when he passes for my time of caring for him and the personal money spent for him. My dad is now 85 and I am 55 and am disabled myself.
Re: care of my parents
your best bet is to have your father sign a contract for your services even if you do not collect until after he passes. Be sure he is not on any meds that could cause confusion. IN fact I would have him sign in front of witnesses.
