Dad met a woman that drained him financially after mom died. It only took 4 years for him to run through all of their retirement. The friend kicked him out and sent him to me with $20 in his pocket. It has been a nightmare unraveling his financial issues. He is in elderly housing, but he currently has bills he can't pay. Dad gets angry when I try to guide him financially, yet the POA seems useless at times. I can't stop him from creating debit. Am I missjng something?
A third party often has better luck as they are not emotionally attached with all the baggage that goes along with it. You want to see if a friend of his could help out, or get a financial person to lend a hand. It's quite possible he would cooperate better, then. Good luck,
Carol
