"Don't do it! My mother moved in with my sister after my father died. She put in a beautiful pool, and lots of concrete, redid half the house and finished the basement so she could live there. All told it was about $120,000. My sister turned around and sold the house 6 months later for a massive profit and moved out of state. I helped my mother find a condo that I helped pay for. My mother, the great person she is, just simply told me that she would be OK and that when she dies, my sister gets no inheritance"

Something very similar happened to one of my mother's friends. Her daughter urged her to sell her apartment and move in with her into her beautiful house. Months later, the woman was locked in a small room in the house, nobody would talk to her (including the grandsprogs), and she had to ask permission to eat anything from the fridge. There was a padlock on the fridge so she couldn't take anything without someone to unlock it.
