The objective of this paper is to present an overview of the literature on conflicts between adult siblings concerning caregiving to elderly parents. Aging process of parents involves a lot of new issues, decisions and can bring the best or the worst in sibling relationships. Potential sources of conflicts may emerge from the lack of clarity in families as to who and to what extent is supposed to give support to aging parents. The perspective of long time caregiving to older parents may for many adult children be hard to imagine and difficult to render. The intergenerational solidarity paradigm was used as a conceptual framework in explanation of motivation of adult siblings to support their older parents and successfully resolve all conflicts. The article concludes with a recommendation of using family mediation as a valu- able method of conflict resolution between adult siblings concerning caregiving to older parents.
