My mom has early stage dementia Alzheimer’s lives alone in a apartment that is in area for 62 and up. She is 73 and has went thru 5 different banks in the past 1 yr and 3 months. At beginning it was due to she was talking to men who claim to be in service and need to have money wired to places but could only do it by wiring to get first and she would make $650. Well that happened twice and bank caught it and so did sencond bank. So another bank she claims Someone stealing her money as these charges for internet stuff kept showing up and she said she never ordered such things and never received. Well this last bank I never knew she opened until dr told me as me and her got into it bad every time these events happened. well just found out now that she had problems with this last bank and now has an online bank city bank is what she told my daughter. I am wondering if anything I can do about this? She and I have our episodes where don’t talk due to she is severe narcissistic and other family don’t have very much to do with her either so I am it. Last month I had to pay her electric cause of this and I don’t work just hubby and she don’t like him and despises him.
Step away and STAY away. Why have you always known you would have to take care of your mother? What does that mean? Your stepfather abused you and your mother did nothing.
Why did you pay her electric bill?
What do you think is the end point if you do NOT back out? I really don't see any intermediate ground, what with your PTSD and other medical issues, your financial difficulties, and your history with your mother.
Awful text saying well if I can’t get my social security check guess me and Sophie get kicked out of apartment and live in a box.. she always guilts me but my husband said no .. cause there is no one who could come get us or us afford to have it towed we are in financial trouble ourselves as i currently can’t work applying for disability and his son girlfriend 11 month baby and she pregnant living here
You can appoint a fiduciary to handle all bills and money in and out if you wish, or can handle the finances yourself keeping track of every penny into Mom's assets and every cent out.
You will need proof of dementia and doctors letters to say that your mother should not now be in charge of handling her own money, if indeed that is the case.
