My friend is ailing [View all]
For the last few months, she's had a lot going on and had to go rehab. I have nothing to do with her finances, but I'm picking up her mail, and she has bills coming in. Today when I got back to her house from visiting her, a lawn guy was at her house. He has been trying to get in touch for payment. I took his contact info, and will tell her this evening.
I know her bills aren't my bills. She is as private about that as she is everything else. I took everything that looked like utilities to her today. I told her if she opened those and signed checks for anything that needs attention, I would fill the checks in, do the envelopes and get them mailed. She doesn't use eft or other methods of payment. She didn't do anything about the bills while I was there. I'm not trying to be intrusive or interfere, but I would hate to see her utilities shut off. She has money, but has been so ill that everything is an effort to do.
Is there any sort of method to set up for somebody in this situation to manage finances? I have no idea. It doesn't have to be me and I kind of hope it doesn't come to that. Any advice is appreciated very much.
