"I don't want to come across as a mercenary, but I think it's sensible to talk about inheritance and their plans for nursing homes and end-of-life care"
"I know my parents will leave me and my two siblings some money when they die and maybe their house, but we never talk about this stuff as a family."
A family member feels uneasy about appearing mercenary but believes discussing inheritance and parents' plans for nursing homes and end-of-life care is sensible. The family member expects that parents will leave money and possibly the family house to three children but notes that the family never talks about these matters. The lack of conversation leaves decisions unclear and increases the risk of misunderstanding when care needs or estate distribution arise. Clear, respectful conversations can help surface parents' wishes, prompt legal and financial preparations, and align expectations among siblings.
