What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
My husband and I have provided housing for a sister (in-law for me) for 5 years. She is becoming elderly and could have health problems at any point. We are concerned that because she lives in our household, we could be held responsible for her support should she become disabled. Is this a legitimate fear?
She is retired and on social security. She pays NO rent of any kind though she does contribute to the cost of satellite TV. We live in Maine, USA.
