I am POA for my mother. Have taken two leave of absences from my job to sort through my mother's finances and care for her. Now I need to pay myself something for the time I am spending on managing her finances. Where would I find information as to what would be a reasonable rate for my time?
If your agreement does not include this information, I think your best bet is to get quotes from various bookkeepers on their hourly wage and use an average of those rates. Make sure you keep detailed records incase you have to deal with a Medicaid look back,
Now at the same time his friend has a POA, a court appointed fiduciary. That man charges 90.00 an hour. He is good at his job, so his hours are minimal, and things I worry over and spend time on he would likely not even address at all, because he knows his job.
If you do not wish to have this job it may be time for you and your Mom to get a paid fiduciary. They are licensed (tho the getting of a license doesn't cost a whole lot or take a whole lot of time, just skill, and they are accountable to the courts.)
Good luck.
