Why Seniors Should Consider Daily Money Management

Jan. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- The Society of Certified Senior Advisors has released an article that discusses the importance of managing the daily finances of a senior’s household and how seniors can obtain assistance while remaining in control of their own finances. Many professionals advise seniors about estate planning and asset management, but they often do not provide the necessary information about the daily management of financial affairs and related domestic matters.

Excerpts from article:

How do you know when a senior needs this service?

According to the U.S. Agencies on Aging, National Center for Elder Abuse website, it’s time to enlist help for a senior when the senior:

•   Fails to pay bills on time, resulting in discontinued utilities, late fees, or penalties.
•   Pays the same bills multiple times.
•   Cannot keep track of assets or property, or loses checks, cash or, credit cards.
•   Forgets to open and pay bills, deposit checks, and record expenses.
•   Spends excessively on useless items or makes irresponsibly large donations to charities.

To find an appropriate person to help with finances, consider asking for a referral from a professional you trust, such as an elder law or estate attorney.
