AGING PARENTS, WHEN DO YOU STEP IN FINANCIALLY

My moma called me crying saying she was in trouble.  She has overdawn her account by $217.00 and can't tell me how it happened.  Well half of it was insufficient funds, so she has been writing checks and not realizing that she was overdrawn.  I asked her how it happened she kept saying she didn't know.

Thing is my moma is great with bookkeeping and now i'm worried that she is slipping.  She is 75 now and I think it's time to step in and check out her finances.  I have access to all her accounts, I have for years but all I do is put money in them, now I have to really keep an eye on her without making her feel like i'm trying to take over her life.

It makes me sad to think of my mom as getting to this point.   I tansferred the money to bail out her account with an extra $500 that she can't get hold of is put in a bail out account in case it happens again.

Anyone else have aging parents that they have taken over their finances,  Yall got any adv****

My moma is on SSI.  She feels so embarrassed right now but I keep telling her i'm always here for you and she feels bad that I always had to bail her out but like I tell her you gave me life so what is a few hundred bucks every month.

fyi - Trina....Yo Momma can be a BILLIONAIRE and end up in the same predicament...... Most old people are preyed upon for different types of schemes and whatsoever....... I read it about it EVERYDAY, how you think Anna Nicole came into all that money??

No advice Lee (love that name that is my last name) my parents are both "61" and thus far are okay...

MM my moma use to be the same way.  She was on top of it and she is very smart would never ever fall for a scam but when their minds start to go it goes and it happens gradually.   But I am suspect that my moma may have given money to one of my brothers.   I am going to give her ass the 5th degree later.

True dat - My granddaddy had demntia (sp) before he died and a lotta money disappeared - me and mama got a hold of him and got a power of attorney just before he really lost it and managed everything from there.

We already have medical power of attorney's on file - putting other stuff in line too, wills, etc.  Just in case!
