Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
First, I don’t understand why your mother is paying your rent unless you mean your mother’s rent at the facility. I would never make my mother pay me for living with me, that’s crazy! My mother didn’t charge me to live with her when I was growing up.
1. The answer is in the details of which type of Hospice: home or facility. 2. If POA, how's that actually worded for the POA to take specific action(was it your mom actually doing the action previously?). 3. Is POA paperwork properly filed with the bank or a signature stamp(allowed depending on several factors) in place? Or are you actually an authorized account signer?
We all propose questions during tough situations, there's just several things only you know at this point. So a simple yes or no isn't something that can be said, as you can see by statements of others as well.
This sounds very messy. If you're POA, it would seem that you already have a joint account and can sign anything. If she is in hospice facility, why would she be paying you rent? I suggest you take a look at the will and see what her final wishes are. Your profile doesn't say anything about you or mom,so we don't know the specifics. Most people here don't get paid to be caregivers, I assume that you cut a deal with mom,nice.
I have an account at the same bank as my mother. My name is on her account as well. When payment comes due at the end of the month, I just do an online transfer to get any bills paid.
If youve got POA i'd go down the bank and set up a direct debit to yourself and update the bank if they ask that its rent. Maybe you should also be put on the account as joint holder and while youre at it - think about will's
If your Mom is under Hospice care AT HOME and unable to manage paying her bills, yes, you will pay her bills, all of them including her rent check to you. Do remember if you receive this as "rental" and not as "shared living costs" you will have to declare the rent on you taxes. Remember to keep good records. And I am assuming that you are already on her accounts as "signee" and as POA. You would then sign as the bank dictates. Usually that is "Mom's Name" followed by YOUR Name and the words "by POA".
If your mom is under hospice care in a facility then of course she is no longer paying rental in your home. Good luck.
Make sure you have made and keep receipts for your records. Also, keep all her transactions separate from yours. It may not seem important now but if you are ever asked in the future to PROVE anything - you will thank yourself in the morning! :)
Is your PoA active? Meaning, is your Mother unable to make decisions for herself either because she is unresponsive or has cognitive impairment?
Did you bring your PoA paperwork to her bank so that they know you are acting as her PoA and not someone just trying to drain her account? You'd need to sign the checks properly/legally as her PoA, not sign your Mother's name.
You should consult with the elder law attorney to know if you can/should write rent checks to yourself from her account -- especially if she's in a facility now. If you have siblings who will keep you accountable, you don't want to give them any reason to mistrust your management.
