Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
A valid ID and SS # will give her access to bank accounts. Have your mother tell her boss that she wants her paychecks handed to her and that she wants NO financial info provided to your sister.
My sister pays her bills. However, my sister is having my mother's mail forwarded to her home when my mother adamantly told my sister that she wanted her mail to come to our home. My sister has also threatned to turn in our mail carrier since he would not tell my sister how much mail was being delivered to our address for my mother. The mail carrier is a federal employee and my sister has no right to any information about anyone's mail. This is how low she has gone to get back at me. My mother knows nothing. Can I take my mom to the bank even if she does not know her checking account numbers to get statements? My mom has no way other than my sister to get money. My sister instructed my mother's employer to direct deposit my mother's pay into the account. Would she have had to shown the employer she had POA to do that? I would think so. As I stated, she has not shown any documentation showing she has that authority. I think I will have to ask my mom's boss about that? Yep, that's what I'll do to see if they got some kind of proof of POA. If not, they can now give my mother a regular paycheck instead of direct deposit.
How does your sister pay your mother's bills? If they are being sent to sister how did she arrange that? My husband and I have had POA for his mother for a few years but it was only a year ago last Nov. that we moved her closer to us and started doing anything of financial matters for her. She has dementia but even now when we have to do things, the entity we are dealing with wants to speak with her. For instance about a month ago we really needed to lower the credit limit on her Visa. Even after explaining to the woman what needed done, she still insisted on speaking with mil. The only problem we don't have is with the bank...we are on all of her accounts. I pay her bills online, but otherwise she can write checks to her little heart's content. Sounds to me like sis has got some extra income off your Mom. Call the bank and have them give your mom a printout of all activity on her accounts for the past year. She is entitled to one even with your sister's name on it. Your mother would have had to sign a POA and also have a witness sign. Sounds like sis is pulling a fast one.......let us know how things work out.
Where would you find that information and exactly what do you mean by legal? My sister has never provided a document that says she is POA to my mother or I for that matter.
She wants her money back as my sister does not give her any money, does not show her statements, my mother to her knowledge said she did not sign POA and my sister is throwing around her POA by going to my mother's employer and doctor and whoever else she deems necessary to bash our personal life to everyone that she can. My mother is 81 years old, soon to be 82 and still works and gets no money and it's her money....
That's what I'm afraid of. I'm wondering if we should print one off line and get it notarized in the meantime? I have a friend who is a notary that will come to my home.
Most of them are in the mornings so I hope you can get him this afternoon. I hope something terrible hasn't happened since you last checked in....I thought it was going to be okay to leave sister as financial POA......I hope you can get everything worked out. Good luck!
The latest legal POA takes precedence over previous ones. Now, I will play the devil's advocate. No need to answer but things for you to ponder. Why does your mother NEED to change POA? Is it misuse of funds or that you disagree with how your sister is handling matters? Your mother shouldn't need a POA unless she is incompetent. Your mother signed the POA for your sister while competent so there must be a reason she chose her. Is it possible to discuss the issues surrounding the need for a new POA with your sister? And last, there are POA's that only come into effect when the person becomes incapacitated or incompetent.
Yesah.....get an attorney involved. A POA can be revoked at any time by the giver. It all expires at the death of the giver. On the other hand, a Revocable Living Trust transcends death.
Since it's a legal document, I think it's best to have an attorney draw a new one up. I've read on here that there are internet forms you can print out and have notarized, but you need to be sure they are legal in your state. Once you have a new POA ,get multiples with original signatures to give out to various financial institutions etc. Your mother is mentally competent as far as understanding what she's signing? If not you'll need to take a different route. Wish you the best!
