#511 | Filial Responsibility: Fact, Fiction, and What Actually Happens

One obscure area of state law continues to generate more questions than almost any estate planning topic we've covered.

Can adult children ever be responsible for a parent's care? Does being estranged matter? What happens if siblings disagree? Does living in another state change anything? And can politics really influence these laws?

In this episode, Valerie Zammitti breaks down the most frequently asked questions surrounding filial responsibility laws, separates internet myths from legal reality, and explains the practical risks families should actually be paying attention to.

If you've seen headlines about children paying for their parents' nursing home costs, this conversation will give you the context most people never hear.
