I, Doctor in the US-Chapter 498 - 457: Children Have No Obligation to Support Their Parents, So What Is the Cost?

"In the United States, children are not obligated to support their parents."

Alice's words were actually quite ordinary, without much emotion mixed in.

But to Zhou Mo Sen, they inexplicably felt a bit terrifying at this moment.

"Could this law lead to very bad outcomes?"

Zhou Mo Sen's question made Alice laugh.

It should be said she was quite proud, after all, here's something Zhou Mo Sen doesn't understand.

"It's very simple. When someone reaches old age, if they indeed lose the ability to manage on their own, or they willingly hope someone can help them or handle their life affairs, they can designate someone to manage all their assets.

If this person is deemed incapacitated, the state government can appoint someone to assist them.

Understand?"

"F*ck!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

As soon as Alice finished speaking, Zhou Mo Sen immediately understood.

Actually, Zhou Mo Sen found this matter not complicated at all to comprehend.

Because he's been through this!

Yes, it was right after the incident with the Bella Clan's 'face transplant' horror.

Zhou Mo Sen encountered his own inheritance issue.

It was at that time he met Oden, the bastard.

Exactly, the principle is the same!

Because in the United States, they adhere to the law.

Conversely, they don't recognize familial ties.

A person is just a person.

Even if they have relatives, friends, children, siblings.

It's useless.

This is the United States' provision regarding inheritance or, to put it broadly, the provisions regarding a person's rights.

Alice talks about one's state when losing competence or simply when someone reaches old age.

But actually, legally, it's prepared in advance.

Simply put, because American children have no obligation to support their parents.

So, American parents and children don't have an inherent logic of inheritance.

Got it.

Just like Zhou Mo Sen, although he is indeed the sole heir of the Zhou Family.

According to our Chinese logic.

When the couple from the Zhou Family passes away, you inherit everything.

But it's not like this in the United States.

Although, the final result in the U.S. is Zhou Mo Sen inherited the Zhou Family's estate.

But in reality, he spent quite a bit of money, and had to make many proofs.

He is a doctor.

Look at the official statistics from the United States; at least a third of the population has reading difficulties.

It's actually a dignified way of saying illiteracy.

If so many people can't read, how can they handle inheritance issues themselves?

It's crucial to know it's full of legal affairs, various amendments, various legal documents.

Even Zhou Mo Sen, a highly educated doctor, relies on lawyers to sort it out. Oden was found by the original him before his crossing, not by Zhou Mo Sen.

So, most children in the U.S. face many problems when inheriting their parents' estate.

Of course, Zhou Mo Sen is quite familiar with Oden, knowing some of the situations of this guy's work.

Many lawyers in America actually work on drafting wills for the elderly.

This can be seen from the "Seductive Lawyer" series.

But what if there's no will?

Yes, before a will is drawn up, what if someone intercepts?

Actually, Zhou Mo Sen is almost fully aware of this now.

Alice, although she didn't say much, Zhou Mo Sen already guessed what Evelyn, the seductress, is doing.

She's definitely a shark!

In America, the term 'Shark' originally wasn't used to refer to O'Neal.

This term already carries meanings like predator, big fraud, etc.

Indeed, the reason Orne likes using this nickname isn't because the animal is formidable, but because he uses it to imply cunning and deceit.

Of course, being fierce suits it too.

However, on the basketball court, aren't there many fake moves? In the NBA you can't be foolish and not be able to deceive.

Evelyn is such a beauty shark now.

And the place looked at earlier is precisely this nursing center.

It should be the 'prison' carefully orchestrated by Evelyn.

Those American elderly seem to be doing well one by one.

But in reality, they should already be controlled by that woman Evelyn.

Moreover, they have likely signed contracts with Evelyn.

Evelyn can manage their 'estate'!

This situation...

Zhou Mo Sen has a kind of... F*ck, this business is really lucrative!

He coughs... he's just a bit envious, not wanting to engage in this business.

After all, it's immensely immoral.

No one does so.

Moreover, isn't he afraid of the sons and daughters of these old American men and women coming after him?

Zhou Mo Sen had a bout of thoughts causing him not to speak.

Of course, Alice understood his inner change, but at this moment she should share more stuff.

"You're smart and should have understood.

But I believe there are many details you've not cleared up, feel free to ask me."

Those words pulled Zhou Mo Sen back, of course, he had many details he wanted to ask.

But needless to say...

"All this time, is it because of her?"

These words carry significance.

Upon hearing them, Alice's heart warmed.
