As the baby boom generation enters the graying years, a great number of Americans are facing the many challenges of caring for elderly parents. The issues meet at the intersection of family dynamics and the law. And large swaths of the population will be facing at least some of these issues in the years ahead. With these challenges arise the potential for tremendous conflict among caregivers, family members, siblings and even “helping” professionals.
