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.
What is end-of-life care? It encompasses the treatment of someone nearing death.
This type of care can last for weeks, months, or even years, depending on how long the person receiving such care is expected to live. A person covered can receive this care at home, in a nursing home, or in a hospital.
Hiring a professional who can provide round-the-clock care can be extremely expensive. There are various ways to pay for end-of-life care, including long-term care insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, and other healthcare programs.
Family members should explore these options to help finance the expenses that arise. However, this Reddit user, philzone3561, is faced with the challenge of paying for her mom's end-of-life care alone.
Her mom owns a million-dollar home, which she previously transferred into his name. Since Reddit deleted the details of the original post, it is unclear whether the mom conveyed the property to her brother with the understanding that it would be used for her medical expenses or if she gave it to him because he is the favorite child.
As she refuses to finance her mother's end-of-life care, she asks the community if she's TA for making such a decision. Read on to see what people have to say about her refusal.
Here is OP's post on Reddit:
via: philzone3561Her 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.

The brother has slacked off after reaping the rewards.

Why would she sacrifice for someone who blatantly favored the brother?
via: Maskydoo
She should demand equal shares of her assets.
via: Volusto
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.

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.
via: simAlity
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.
