Hi,
Some of you may know that my mum was robbed recently they took all her money the good news is that the bank have refunded her. She now has the money to get POA and everytime i mention it she changes the subject? She was keen before and now wont discuss it.
I am the main caregiver and live with her she is getting worse every week more confused etc.. its time to protect her and her assets so we can use her home for NH costs if we dont get this done before she becomes incompetent they will freeze her assets and pension? Its getting scary now as we could have serious problems in the future.
Any ideas? and any stories of how you appraoch this with them I feel time is running out?
Most of my family live abroad and my bro down the road has his head up his......and refuses to discuss anything with me.
My mum hasnt alot just a small pension and her house and I need to get this sorted asap.
Suggest that if she got a bad case of pneumonia or fell and was unconscious, you wouldn't be able to approve her medical treatment without a POA. Or go to the lawyer and make you her POA, and her your POA. (you can revoke the latter as soon as she's out of sight.)
Good luck. She's a feisty one, isn't she.
