Becoming Enduring Power of Attorney for my mother.

[Calluna]

I did think about a trust fund. Its just hard. I dont know how to put it to her without making her feel like I think she is incapable. But, she is incapable.

I guess I just wanted to have as much info as I could before I approach her with it. Make sure Im doing the right things.

I dont want to hurt her but I dont know how else to help her.

Its not just financial, its in every way. She is immature in every way. She has very limited ability to be logical and reasonable. She cant understand why everyone else doesnt see the world the way she does and assumes everyone knows and sees the same things she does. She has things she obsesses about. Paris. Titanic. Acting and actors. Piano. Very set views on what is acceptable and what is not, which would be fine except that it includes things like centrelink being firmly in the not catagory. She hasnt evolved with the rest of society, views change, social rules change, language, fashions, etc. She is living 30 years in the past. Im just focusing on the financial now because it is the most pressing thing.

I will still suggest EPOA, for later down the track, from a health persective. Her mum (my Gran) had altzhiemers. If my mother develops it too she will need an advocate.

Everyone should have an EPA Calluna, whether they're old and infirm, or 30 years old and in the picture of health.
