House Purchase - Complicated Situation

Completely neutral: I also find it interesting how emotional such topics are discussed, almost always. In my opinion, Joedreck is right. All or nothing. Another way will sooner or later cause trouble. But, I would like to say briefly – the father is a responsible man. If he wants to secure his own care, he is free to do so. I find this attitude of always speaking of the "offspring exploiting the parents" strange. But it doesn't hurt to consider all perspectives.

I find the expectation of inheriting the parents' possessions interesting, and already mentally dividing the loot.

Haven't your parents talked to you about the potential inheritance? Or do you not talk about it with your children? I find that completely normal; my parents already did that when I was 20. They wanted to ensure that it was distributed as sensibly and fairly as possible, and of course, such conversations take place together with my sister. I, on the other hand, find it strange not to settle such matters while still alive.

I told my parents to live and do whatever they want with it. After all, they worked hard for it, not me.

I know that I will most likely not inherit anything. Everything materially really valuable will have to be liquidated to cover the care costs, and I must consider myself lucky not to be asked for parental support as well. I do not expect to see anything from either of the two condominiums... And honestly, I also do not see why I should leave my children anything bigger than no debts.

But one does not exclude the other. Especially when it comes to real estate, I find it sensible to just talk - what do the parents wish, how do the children see it... Hmm. Maybe with us it’s also because we are only in the second generation not farmers anymore. In these families, even today the majority (if not everything) is still arranged and handed over during lifetime. Not always without trouble, I won’t claim that, but that is more the rule than the exception.
