I have been a caregiver to my father now for i say about 3 months now. I am 30 with 6 kids.  My oldest is 15. She spends alot of time after school with my pop. To me that a big help. I have a sister in Reading,Pa Which is older then me!About 38 or so.  Anyway she visits my pop sometimes biweekly.  Here for about 2-3 hours and leaves. My father raised me alone.( My mom was not in the picture) She is from a previous marriage. My father has her on his bank account for if anything ever happened to him.  The  house is under my fathers name& ex-wife(her mom).Nobody wants the house only me.I was born and raised here. Im greatful for having my father But right now i need to Know legal matters and how do i handle my family?                                                     Suzie2009

If your father has a clear mind simply talk to him about it.  He is your father.  Now is the time for truth and honesty among family.  If now isn't the time there never was/is.  Good luck and stay strong

My fathers mind is up and down. Dont know if its the morphine or him. He has told me if i want the house i have said yes. The thing is his favorite(which is my sis). Has to say o.k about anything that has to have a decision on. I just feel as a caregiver of my father there should not be a discussion on anything. My sis got it all.  Im just taken care of my pop.  Im not jealous of there bond, I just feel a little used. I wish he would understand im taken care of him out of love. My sister & her mother have other intensions. Just wishin my pop would see that.                             Suzie

If he wants you to have the house he needs to put it in writting now before things get worse. If not you cant do anything about it. You need to talk to him about becoming his power of attourney. Also if he signs it over now you wont have to pay inheritence taxes you can do a qiut claim deed and file it that will make it legal.
