I take it you are POA. Lots to do. Taxes, House, Utilities, and more... social workers, nurses and finally hospice workers all in your future.
Cancelling the utils was a pain. Even tho I was POA they still had to hear from her a couple times on the phone to cancell them.
I was glad to do it, and I wish she was still alive of course but I am glad to have my time back again.
Unfortunatelly you cant have both the parent alive and your time. Something that has to be done.

Yep. I am POA. Went through the utiltity stuff several years ago, but also had to go through selling her house. She got real sick and was in a nursing home for about a year then after that she lived in an apartment for a while then eventually moved in with me.
Just the other day when I was getting her ready for the move I had to go through her bills and cover everything with her and she finally realized everything I had been doing behind the scenes. Dealing with the government is not a good time. The social workers and aid workers have been helpful, but it is annoying.
