My mom has been widowed for 4 years and is not getting along very well. Recently my brother has suggested that she sell her home and move in with him as he is moving his family into a larger home with a separate structure on his new property for her. This all seems to be going very quickly and he seems to be very motivated to move my mother ASAP. She has very mixed emotions about this but is going along with the program for now. I live in Chicago and am feeling fairly unsure about this matter. I want to trust my brother’s motives and for the most part I do. However; both of my wife’s parents have had ugly experiences with their parents and they both have issued caution since they believed that their siblings were serving their parent’s best interests at the time. I have expressed trust in my brother but they both said they felt the same way as I do now before the wheels came off and all the monies became commingled and in the end the quality of life of their parents were compromised due to the amount of control placed upon the aging parents. No accounting of possessions, property or accumulated monetary wealth was ever disclosed by their siblings in the end and the families remain estranged. Any advise out there?
