Pitfalls to avoid when selling a parents home

You didn't plan to sell your parent's home. Neither did anyone else. It arrives quietly — a fall, a diagnosis, a move to assisted living — and suddenly you're making one of the biggest financial decisions of your family's life with almost no preparation.
