Good luck with that. Siblings + Money = Trouble. When my wife's parents sold their house 7 years ago (and moved in with my wife's sister as above) they divided the lion's share of their cash 3 ways for the 3 children. When we started shopping for a nursing home for them this fall, we came up with a financial plan that would have required payback. My wife & I were more than willing to give it all back but her brother & sister went absolutely ballistic. And it was their parent's money to begin with! I was & still am totally disgusted with them. I refuse to socialize with them ever again.
