If an elder parent with 4 children is starting to get where they can't support themselves anymore but not all of the siblings are willing to help financially with the burden of caring for their parent. Is there a legal way to go about making them fulfill the obligation? Thanks

No. It is not a legal obligation to support your parents . . . . only a moral one.

Sorry but no. However you could write them out of the will,sell your house and check yourself into an assisted living facility.
