By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information").

Personally, I don't believe family caregivers should work for free under the condition that they will inherit when the LO's estate is settled. They should be paid regularly every week or month or whatever pay arrangement is agreed upon. If they aren't going to be paid literally by check, then the LO should sign over whatever property they are going to use as payment.
So many family caregivers get burnt right and proper when the LO passes away and no mistake. It usually turns out that they either get nothing, or they get equal a share in the estate that family members who did no caregiving are inheriting.
If you're the caregiver to them, see it up front and legal writing exactly how you're going to be compensated for your caregiving.
Never do the work now get paid later set up because that usually leaves the one doing all the work out in the cold when it comes time for compensation.
Your response isn't clever with sarcasm being the lowest form of wit of course. More likely English isn't the OP's first language so the wording is a bit confusing.
Everyone knows what 'before' means.
Hopefully you were not put as POD (pay on death) on any accounts, as banks are not obligated and do not notify often enough.
You should/could also ask who is executor of their will, and simply ASK that person. That certainly is the easiest way.
If it is just curiosity, remember the best plan is not to have any expectations of receiving anything. It will then be a happy surprise if you do.
You can check with the probate court in the county where they lived. Since it is a public record, you can request to see the Will's filing.
Their response will be one of two ways.
1. They will tell you.
2. They will tell you it is none of your business.
If they have not yet died, the only way to learn the contents of wills is to ask.
If they have, and the will has been filed for probate, the County Clerk will have a record of it.
