Kind of like child or elder abuse. 

Your family member may need to consult an attorney regarding Gift Taxes and consider the impact on elder care planning depending on their age.

So - now I think that my file has been flagged for not disclosing a debt - which can result in an automatic loan denial or extreme scrutiny - and now - they are requesting CLEARED CHECKS for this private mortgage note, and will not accept the history or carbon copies.The problem is that the person we pay monthly is elderly (80's) and she requested that we mail a paper check every month on the 5th and she has always deposited the checks several at a time - as shown below.

Plenty of times elderly in need to sell their house ask their kids for help.

Currently, I also have a pharmacist and a caregiver for the elderly. 

It’s truly sad that they do this to elderly people in need for their own gain. our realtor tries to forewarn potential buyers ahead of time but that doesn’t seem to help the situation either. 

@Roy Marks There's certainly a lot to consider with this one.Before you take any steps, you should speak with a tax attorney who specializes in estate planning/elder law. 

Existing housing stock is both elderly and was mostly low-quality to begin with.

She explained to me the plight of a problem she had with her elderly fathers memory care center, how visitations was more like a prison visit.

It's good to have a general idea of what might work, but only an elder law attorney and tax CPA that you engage will be able to give you the specific fact, circumstance, and goal based answer.
