Hi,
I'm working on getting all my bills paid digitally, so that if
I become incapacitated and the POA is invoked, the person acting
as POA won't have a lot of paperwork to deal with. My remaining
relatives are a bit untrustworthy so I'm going to create a trust
and appoint the bank as executor/POA. They offer that service and
have a good reputation. Plus, it's really the only option I see at this point.
I'm sure they will charge a bunch but that's ok with me, since I won't be
there. Most of my 'stuff' will go to charity via Salvation Army, which
has a distribution network for material goods. They handle estates.
So far it looks like an annual deduction from investments to
my local bank will fill the bank account that pays the bills, and
I'm working on linking my bills to the bank account.
'Doublenet pay' is another option, but I haven't checked it
out yet.
I've learned that T. Rowe Price has their own POA form, and the post office
has a form. Also Prudential [for short and long term disability]
requires I file a letter with them, although they were a little unclear
about what they wanted exactly.
Has anyone worked on a similar process and found something better?
My lawyer said for Health POA I could just let the court appoint
someone, although that would cost 10K or so. However, it is
a decent option. The court is high profile so they probably won't
assign someone that screws up.
Thanks,
Mike
