Since you are not legally responsible for her then I can't see how it is your problem. I there anyone local who could retrieve any small valuables or sentimental items? Beyond that I rather doubt that anyone who has been living in a facility has very much of value, either tell the facility to deal with it or hire a junk removal service.

Can you ask the social worker at the facility for advice? I doubt the landlord is going to be asking for a POA if someone shows up to clear the apartment for them. I think, according to the law, the landlord needs to inventory the items and safely store them for a period of time. I'm sure they would rather someone come and get them.

I like mrbills suggestion of having one of your mom's friends look through the belongings if there is anything you want to save. Other than that, let the landlord handle it. What else can you do?

I'm sorry you're going through this.

Wow, that's not an easy situation. Is there any other family? Or friends? Who was Mom's close contacts in LA before she had to go into hospice? I'm wondering if there are a group of people Mom was close to there who can go to the apartment to help.

She was a loner, even with myself. Very independent and to proud to ask for any assistance. I never even knew she was sick. Unfortunately her choices created this said situation. The landlord will take over and she can keep any monies she acquires from her belongings to cover the cleaning fee etc. Her rent is up end of June and she is also apparently two months behind since she stopped working this March due to the virus and was unable to walk to get to the bank, etc, due to her health. (she's 80) I've yet to hear back regarding what she is planning to do with these items, but at this point what does it matter, I have no say since there is no POA and Mother is still living and lucid. Thank you.
