Policy Question

HYPOTHETICAL: The consumer finance companies introduce a program called ParentSupport®, which allows the adult children of the elderly to mortgage their own homes to help pay for parents’ care. ParentSupport® also allows individuals to pledge payments of ten to fifty percent of after-tax income for five to twenty-five years in order to collateralize a loan to pay for their parents’ care.

Should such contracts be enforced?
