What do you do about their cell phone bills, internet, hearing aids etc? I had all these bills set to auto pay out of there checking account that I am the POD.
Not to mention the cell phone contract, and hearing aid contract. They are paying $400 a month for just the hearing aids!
Some of their stuff has to go through probate, I already have death certificates, etc. I have been locked out of some of her accounts as I was POA.
I'm guessing on accounts that had a POD listed i can just cash them out and close them?
I have not heard of a EIN.
Just notifying the bank that she is dead will freeze the account and stop all withdrawals.
I just went through this same situation with my dad and his POD account.
Notify the bank that she has passed and they will freeze the account.
My dad had auto pay and everything stopped when the bank froze the account.
She is still alive, but in Memory Care.
I didn’t have any success, because they wanted to speak to her. Not happening.
I finally went to her bank’s website, and disputed the charges. The bank, so far, has cut off the cellphone company.
If they wrote a letter to her, she said that the print was too small.
Parents truly get to a point where they are helpless due to so many issues in their lives. It’s incredibly sad.
