Just start over
On Monday my husband and I went with dad to the lawyer, we needed to sign the papers for the Power of Attorney. My husband and I are both his dad power of attorney. When we got there and started driving down, dad asked if we was sure we wanted to do this, I told him Yes someone needs to protect you. Right now it’s more of protecting him form hisself, I personally could shoot him right now. He wrote out a bunch of checks for money he didn’t have. There was a couple of checks messing but no dublicates wrote, that worried me because where are they and who has them.
Dad been writing checks but not keeping account of everything, so at both banks we spent an hour or better, at his main bank, we ended up having to close his account and start a new joint account. Dad will not get any checks, because if he writes them it going to mess hubby and I up seriously, and sorry I have enough to deal with then letting him write checks when he don’t know what’s there. Dad last week told us he wanted us to give him a allaunce for spending each month and asked for what he wanted I am wondering if that will be enough for him each month. Grant it we will pay all his bills, and I will be looking at consolidating his date for him so it all coming from on place. We also need to make sure he protect from other people becuase I feel that some of the activity on the account is from pressure and fear of saying no to someone who was with him.
When we lift I told him I would call the cable company and the pension place for his company. I got no where by 2pm so I told dad he have to go there and change the information. Dad friend took him and started talking about going to the bank, this worried me because I do not trust this person. He’s already claimed to be dad, so tomorrow I might have to call the bank and make sure they do not have the routing number or account number, I do not want nothing going through this account until I see his deposits there and now things are safely in as far as deposits since we closed the account so quickly.
Yesterday I spent a good portion of the day, and talked to the banker becuase we was worried about something going through it went through. I was glad the teller/banker decided the just start over appoarch was better, now I can protect dad. What I do not understand is how come Mediacom is charging his account and they aren’t even in the town he was living, and I don’t think they are where he is at now. I am supposed to be looking for a job but the last 3 days have pretty much been a wash, at least I got homework done but that as easy as finding Anoretix.
I will say being a power of attorney is proving to be a lot of work, but once things get settled it will be fine. My husband and I are doing this because his sister can’t handle the stress, and she wouldn’t follow through with dad wishes. The important thing is knowing what their wishers are when they are in their right mind. Speaking of that I have to start looking for some housing for dad that more geared toward senior living.
