Are You Liable for Your Elderly Parent’s Debts or Accidents in Oklahoma?
It’s common to worry about who’s responsible for a parent’s bills or actions, especially as they age. In Oklahoma, the law can be confusing. But The West Law Firm is here to help families understand their rights.
If your elderly parent is in a nursing home or needs care, it doesn’t always mean you’re financially responsible. A good elder law attorney can help you sort out the details.
You may hear terms like “filial responsibility,” which means adult children could be held accountable. While rare, it’s still possible in certain cases. A lawyer for elderly parent liability can review your situation and give you clear answers.
There are also concerns about personal injury. If your parent accidentally causes harm, like a car crash, you may wonder if their age protects them. The truth is, insurance usually handles this, not their children.
At The West Law Firm, we handle these complex issues with compassion and clarity. We help families plan ahead to avoid surprises and protect their loved ones legally and financially.
If you're facing questions about elderly parent liability in Oklahoma, we can help.
