My mom, 94, is beginning to act passive and helpless after being fairly independent for most of her life. I can NOT be her POA, though I am her Medical person for decisions. I’m ok with that, but not finances. I don't think any other family member will do it either. Her cognitive skills are excellent so far, but I know she ought to plan for this.
Thanks in advance.

Nancy, your Mom could hire an Accountant or CPA to handle her finances, if that is within her budget.

It's a tough situation. If I found myself in that situation, since I have no siblings nor children, and the cousins that I knew well are older then me and live out of state, I probably would ask my Elder Law Attorney for suggestions, or hire my CPA.

My certified elder law attorney has fiduciaries in his office and we named him as our secondary POA, with the stipulation that he can utilize a professional fiduciary to handle our affairs. It guarantees that we are represented even if something happens to him.

It is a great way to have your wishes honored because they go only by your written end of life documents and not feelings.
