[quote=Anonymous]Make sure to get all of the account information from you dad, including utilities and real estate taxes. Set everything up on autopay now, before you lose your dad. That will help your mom as she navigates the loss. I went through this a few years ago- my mom couldn’t keep up with the house but wanted to stay in the town she’d lived in forever so she rented a condo. I should have immediately moved her to an independent living place near me. It was a really rough five years of multiple moves as she aged. Extremely hard on both of us. So my suggestion would be to have a very frank discussion with her. If she wants to stay where she is try to find a way to make that work but if she starts needing more care plant that seed now for her to be amenable to it. At 77 she could go from fine to not fine very quickly.[/quote]
