Question:

Should your parents be able to take your grandparents money if grandparents become mentally incapacitated?

Should your parents be able to take their parents money after having the state declare them incompetent? This is what is typically done, from what I understand. In this way, the state pays the enormous costs of nursing care and their kids (your parents) get the your grandparents money. However, at this point, your grandparents would be stuck to live out the rest of their lives public (welfare) facility since they now have no money. Is this right?

Sophist: Not true. I am 45 years old and have gone through this with my sister who wanted us to jointly take my parents money and put them in a home. Not to manage the money, but to keep. for her "children's education". I refused. After 7 years spending every sent of their savings in a private nursing home, my sister finally agreed that I was right.

"sent" should be "cent" in the last comment.
