Comment on Parent-Child Role Reversal by Kristina

Desiree,

You may have missed the point of the blog. It is not speaking to young adults taking on the role of “parent” for their irresponsible parents. Rather, it was about adults (40-65ish) taking on the role of “parent” for their parents who are elder and possibly suffering from dementia or some other type of memory impairment. Good luck on your search.

Comment on Pet Trusts Arrive in Massachusetts by Kristina

You have some freedoms within the trust to make it less desirable for the caretaker to put the animal down. For example, if the animal passes, regardless of whether its by natural causes or euthanized, the caretaker no longer gets support payments. So it’s in caretaker’s best interest to keep the animal alive. You can designate the balance of the trust fund to an animal shelter or rescue group.

Hey Kristina,

Such a great article! It got me thinking, and now I have a question. You mentioned in the post about the animal passing away, but how? What if the caretaker decides to euthanize the animal? Does this new law prevent a caretaker from doing such a thing (I hope!)?

Curious! Seems like such a great thing to be able to do for your furry loved ones!
