Senior Finances: Effective Tips in Protecting and Managing the Finances of the Elderly

Article Category: Lifestyle

Author Name: James Snyder

Take advice from this senior! If you (or your parents) are already aging, then you need to gather information about the most effective ways to manage senior finances as this will allow you to protect your money. Being able to protect your finances can significantly help not only financially but emotionally as well. With your help, your older loved ones can prevent facing an extremely difficult financial situation. The good thing about this is that you are not required to become a financial expert to efficiently manage your parents' finances. The only thing that you need to do is to ask the right questions and acquaint yourself about the best actions to take.

One of the many things that you can do to help your parents handle their financial affairs is to let them take advantage of DMM or daily money management programs. These programs are extremely useful for both you and your old parents especially if you are a busy professional who is incapable of monitoring the financial activities of your parents every minute. DMM programs can help the elderly in paying for their bills, establishing a good budget, negotiating with creditors, maintaining financial records, balancing checkbook amounts, organizing financial and bank account records, deciphering medical expenses and bills, gathering tax return documents and reviewing bank statements as a means of instantly detecting financial fraud or abuse.

Another tip in managing senior finances is to talk to your parents' doctor and other close friends and family members so you will know if they are experiencing confusion or increased forgetfulness. This will allow you to determine if you need to make adjustments especially after asking your old parents about how they have spent their money or the specific amount that they have paid on their obligations. It is also sensible for you to figure out if there are piles of scattered bills and papers and unopened mails for them.

This can help you in organizing their papers and bills and in developing an effective plan designed to help them manage their financial activities.

You should also spend time examining their credit card and bank statements and checkbooks. Find anything strange from these documents including questionable transfers, unreasonable payments to unfamiliar institutions and double entries. This is a major help in instantly correcting any erroneous information and immediately detecting fraudulent financial activities. If you have noticed huge payments to unknown people or entities, then it is best for you to ask your parents about these. This works in determining if there is anything alarming about the payments.

If you are really serious about helping your parents manage their senior finances, then it is also essential for you to discuss your intentions with them. Spend time talking to your parents about their finances and explaining to them their current financial situation. You should also offer good suggestions. It should be noted, however, that while there are parents who willingly accept assistance, there are also those who resist it so you have to prepare yourself for this. If they tend to resist your help, then you have to do something to make them feel more comfortable when talking about their finances. This is extremely useful in making them realize that they really need help so providing them with their needed financial protection will become easier.
