Legal Question in Elder Law in Illinois

mother and stepfather moving in with us

My mother and stepfather who is suffering from Alzheimers want to move in with us. We have heard that since he is not a relative we could be sued by his children if anything should happen to him.

Could we be liable and what should we do?

You are not liable to his children, but you may be liable to him. You may be better off putting him in a nursing home now, rather than in a crisis situation later.

email me if you have any questions.
