Maybe some of you are in the same position as I am in to where you need to start the process of helping your parent with many of the things we take for granted. I just found out that my mom was being scammed and sending money to someone that told her she owed them cash for something she purchased over 5 years ago from xxx company (which is a lie). If we didn't have access to her checking account and saw some irregularities we never would have known.
This isn't the first financial phopa so the issue really now becomes the need to take over her finances and have that discussion with herr. This is a very difficult discussion to have with someone who has been a life long educator and holds a BS and MS. You know that you are basically taking away part of what their independence, even if it is to ensure that they have the financial resources that will take them through their remaining years.
Anyone on BP have any advice to share on how you may have had similar discussions?
