047 Do I Pay My Parents' Aged Care Fees?


Listen Later

Caring for a parent entering aged care is emotional enough... and then the invoices arrive.

In this episode, Nathan and Jordan unpack one of the most common questions families ask: Should I pay my parents' aged care fees?

They explore:

  • The guilt that often drives the question,
  • What actually counts as "paying fees," the risks of lending money,
  • How powers of attorney affect loan agreements,
  • The impact on means-tested fees, and
  • Why good intentions can sometimes create serious financial and estate problems.

This is a must-listen for anyone supporting an ageing parent, navigating sibling dynamics, or unsure how to help without jeopardising their own financial position.
