[quote=Anonymous]I have been here. You do not have endless time. 1st-figure out if the work needed to be done. It may have been a real issue. 2nd-find out the cost range in the area. If the person is just high end, but not outrageous-let it go. The person did the work. You cannot demand money back. Tree removal is very expensive. It's far more expensive when a tree falls on your house. 3rd: If it was a slight overcharge figure out if your time is better spent getting POA and convincing mom it's time to move. Is your mom difficult? Will she comply if you need to take over? Is she open to moving to residential? You can burn out very quickly with eldercare stuff. I have been at this for years and the first few years I might have gone along with all that people suggested. Now I say choose your battles. It can be a marathon with a lot of elders. My mom is still alive.[/quote]
