My mom is in a ALf and ALL of her mail including medicare, banking, and S/S statements are sent to my homeI. I have POA for her as well as medical POA. The problem is that her mailing address is my house and not the ALF.. She has an expired driver's license from out of state and no State ID from where she is now. There is nothing that has the ALF's address on it. I recently tried to open a savings account in her name to put in money that I cashed in from a matured CD of hers-----The bank would not allow me to set up an account because she has no driver's license or state ID---they could not use her SS on the form.......She has advanced dementia and can not imagine bringing her to the SS office to get a state ID.......At the end when her time comes am I going to have a problem with this......What do I do about it? Help!!
Anyway, in my opinion and experience - and that's all I am going on, so you may want to check in with an attorney to get clarification - having my mom's mail come to my home never gave me any problems with the legal things and her death. I had POA, as you do. I'm surprised you are having trouble since you have that. Anyone else out there have this happen?

This a legal matter that must be dealt with by those with the legal authority to do so.
