[quote=Anonymous]My mom is 74 and in control of her own funds. I am not trying to take control. But increasingly, she cannot manage online transactions such as booking flights or hotels - she gets confused and flustered. I have done a few of these bookings for her and she pays me back, but she pays me with a paper check that is frankly just scrawled on (she has motor issues): the mobile banking app can't read the checks, although so far my bank tellers have accepted them. She also is not comfortable mailing checks because she saw a news segment on check-washing, so it often takes a long time for me to get reimbursed. She does no online banking, and her bank is a credit union that I cannot join. I'm just curious if other people have experience with this or know of tools she could use. Is there a payment app that's friendly to seniors? An easy way to print out checks instead of hand-writing them? Should I ask for access to her accounts?[/quote]
