My 82 yr old Mother has always been narcissistic and tore down my self esteem in my child and adulthood. (I am the oldest daughter, age 62). She appointed me her POA in Nov 2014 as she was going to nursing home in Dec 2014. I had a terrible financial mess to clean up of hers while POA, $12,000 worth of delinquent credit card bills, etc. . She and my stepdad got divorced because she was going on Title 19, if they remained married he would lose his farm to pay for nursing home. Mom and I got into an argument in Nov 2015. A few weeks later I received notice from the attorney that she revoked the POA (because I pissed her off). That was fine the POA was revoked, she was making my life a living hell anyway. However since I had no prior notice of the POA revocation, I was not able to call her prescription company to change the billing from my address to hers. Her EX-husband now takes care of paying her bills. (He visits her every day and they act like they are still married) I have asked them via postal mail the last 4 months to change the address so I don't have to forward it to them each month. (we do not speak on the phone, mom, me and stepdad have not spoken since Nov 2015) Knowing my mother this is being done on purpose to tick me off to forward the bill each month. Am I obligated to forward this bill to her each month? I am ready to just forget it and if they get behind on the bill, oh well their problem not mine. I did not know if there is a legal obligation involved? Thanks in advance for your replies.
You might want to send a copy to your mother and her new poa as well, that way your a** is covered, nobody can accuse you of not informing them if they have signed for the letter.
I'm not sure that would be considered "conducting business" for your mother - it's also conducting a financial safety issue for you, and you have the right to do that.
