famPLUS Podcast - Parental Support

Support for parents - Are children liable for their parents?

In our episode today, we address an important topic: Who bears the costs when parents need to be cared for in a nursing facility? Care comes with high financial expenses, and the income of those affected is often not enough to cover the facility's costs on its own.

To what extent must the adult children step in financially? And are there special regulations if property ownership exists or gifts have been made?

In this episode, we examine the legal aspects surrounding parental support and address questions such as: When and to what extent can children be financially responsible? What financial burdens might they face? Are there ways to protect against this financial obligation?

We have invited experts for you who specialize in this field and will provide you with valuable information and advice. We will also look at some case studies to give you practical insight into this complex subject.

If you're wondering how financial responsibility between parents and children is divided regarding care costs, you should definitely listen to this episode of our famPLUS podcast. We want to help you better navigate this sensitive area and make the right decisions.
