Thanks. I realize the folks on this board don't have all the gory details, but I appreciate the opinions anyway, particularly since law is so darned complicated and I haven't any education in that area.

You're not a useless internet bum, and I truly appreciate your advice and opinions judge. I'm just trying to get my head straight about all this. It's been a very difficult situation for me. Thanks again.

Yes. I realize I'm not responsible for my mother's bills. I'm just dumb in thinking that because she *is* my mother. BUT I'm slowly but surely getting over that. The Limited Power of Attorney I have, which is notarized, specifically states that I must be notified in writing to cancel the...

Thank you both for your opinions. I kind of figured that was the situation. My concern about her finances being drained are that I'll end up ponying up whatever is needed for her care should she end up broke before she dies. As you might say, boo-hoo for me because I'm dumb and I care. Happy...

I currently have a Limited Power of Attorney (created in 2011) for my 86-Y-O legally blind mother, who I have been the sole caregiver for full-time over the past 3 years. I am also joint-owner of her condo, all bank accounts and car. She has one piece of rental property that is not jointly...

Ok. So he wins, but he will have pain with it. I got a money order and made it out to her, as she's the one who originally put up the deposit. The mailing address I received was the ex-husband's address, so I sent the money order to the boyfriend with restricted delivery (tee hee). I...

So I sent this in email: The utility check has not been cashed. A scan of the check is attached. Please send me a forwarding address and I will return the uncashed check to you. The deduction for the final gas bill was estimated to be $11.84. The bill covering the period is attached. The...

Makes sense. Since I got the "letter" in email I guess asking for a place to return the un-cashed check in email is appropriate?

Thank you both Gail and Mighty Moose. I'd debating sending a letter just requesting a forwarding address or a letter disputing the claims or even finding a lawyer to write a response. I realize that would probably be more than the ~$100 net they are asking for, but it would certainly show (IMO)...

Someone finally did pick up the letter that was sent to the ex-husband's address. I haven't checked to see if they cashed the check or not, but I'm thinking they probably did. I'll check tomorrow and see. And today I get a threatening e-mail from the boyfriend telling me "there are some...

No, didn't open it. Sent the balance of the deposit to the tenant in care of her ex-husband as she requested in her move-out notice in a certified letter. According to the Post Office as of now the ex-husband hasn't bothered to pick it up, so I guess we'll see what happens there. I haven't...

I don't have their current address. Would you send it to the ex-husband where I sent the balance of the deposit?

So it just continues. I got a text yesterday from the former tenant(something like this - I didn't read it completely so my phone only shows him it was "delivered" and not "read"): "I'm going out and cannot find how much the utilities are. Can you please tell me what they are?" I had sent two...

Thanks. I thought about tossing it, but "Payment Enclosed" on one envelope and "Billing Statement" on another seemed a little important. I do try to treat people how I want to be treated in spite of how they treat me. I guess I'm just dumb that way. I did mark the first batch "Not At This...

Thank you, Gail. I have understood that Georgia is tenant-friendly when it comes to disputes. I am hoping this is just some noise and I won't hear from them again, but I have documented everything as best I can and feel it's pretty thorough. I did find mail for them in the box and am planning...
