Daughter Is Asking If She's TA For Refusing To Pay Her Mother's End-Of-Life Care
Her mother is currently suffering and does not have her own money to pay for her care.
A daughter’s refusal to pay for her mother’s end-of-life care has sparked a messy family debate, and Reddit is firmly split on who should be responsible.
In this story, the mother reportedly transferred a million-dollar home into her son’s name, leaving the daughter to wonder why she should cover the costs now. With money, favoritism, and family resentment all tangled together, the situation has become more than just a question of bills.
Now the comments are piling up, and the family’s next move could make things even worse.
Here is OP's post on Reddit:

Her brother should pay for all of her end-of-life care.
via: dellaevaineThe brother is being stingy. Since the mother transferred all her assets into his name, it should be his responsibility to pay.

The brother seems to pass on all the bills himself while keeping the house for himself.

It would be great for her to help, but her brother has funds.

It could also mean that the brother does not have liquid assets to pay for their mother's care.

He can hire some help since he has $1M in assets from their mom.

That’s where the family logic starts to fall apart.
The brother has slacked off after reaping the rewards.

Why would she sacrifice for someone who blatantly favored the brother?

She should demand equal shares of her assets.

The brother should use whatever he received from their mom.

Now that the brother gets all of the mom's riches, he dumps her in a welfare home.

That's what the mom deserves for playing favorites. It was the mom who taught the brother to be selfish in a way.

The expenses for her care should come from the assets she gave to the brother.

More people kept circling back to the house.
This is similar to the AITA argument where one sibling insisted they should split parents’ medical bills by income.
She shouldn't pay a dime! The brother only wants money, not responsibility.

The information and question asked are not sufficient for making a good judgment.
via: Seriousgyro
The brother can pay for her care from the assets transferred to him.
via: Catatomical
She should remind her brother that their mom needs the money for her care.
via: byneothername
She's TA if she can't afford 24/7 nursing care, and the brother can't without selling that million-dollar home.

They need to look into the Medicaid waiver program covering their state.
via: Icy-Muffin-315
The brother can pay their mom since he has her assets.
via: Books1979
She should free herself from responsibilities.

Being raised by loving and caring parents, we always think of having the opportunity to give back one day. Now is perhaps the best opportunity for her to do that.
It also appears that her mom disinherited her, so it is logical for the brother to pay for her end-of-life care. However, since we don't know the full and exact story, it is hard to arrive at a better conclusion.
Was she wrong to put her foot down?
