I took care of my MIL for 4 years, and the wife's siblings didn't do squat until she died, then they were all over the finances. I had a BIL handle all her bills and finances from the day she moved in so there was no question whether I'd been skimming off of her accounts, which I saw as a real challenge from one SIL who drained her mom's accounts dry before kicking her to the curb.

Try and keep finances separate from you, so that you don't run into those types of allegations.
