Are there any LEGAL reasons to change my mother’s address since she moved to AL? She lived with me in my home and I would like to keep getting her mail here. That way I can keep an eye on things. She is 98 and sometimes misplaces things. I tried calling her attorney to ask the question and just found out he retired 2 years ago! We were never notified. Thank goodness I have all the original copies of her will, POAs, etc.
Anyway, was wondering if I need to change her address with SS, banks, pension and the like. With tax season approaching, I don’t want to change her address, so I can be sure I will receive all her tax documents.
My Dad's mailing address was my home even though he never lived with me. I was Dad's Power of Attorney. Therefore, I got all of Dad's bills, bank statements, paperwork from his CPA, Attorney, doctors, etc.
I did have a tussle with the Assisted Living hand delivering the monthly bill to Dad, as I wanted it sent directly to my home only with no copy given to Dad. I explained to them that Dad would see the bill and quickly want to move to some place cheaper.
When Dad did move to Assisted Living, I did make up a cartoon-like change of address with his Assisted Living address which I sent to his relatives and friends. That way they could mail Dad cards or what not to his Assisted Living.
