Hello- mom recently moved from her home with a caregiver to memory care (advanced dementia, I am POA). I have to get her mail forwarded to me now. I can't fill out the "deceased" post office form to enable this since she is still living. I'm not sure if I should fill out the "change of address" form instead, and put mine- she actually isn't living with me, I just need to get her mail delivered to me now. I am for some reason finding it hard to know how to proceed, I would so appreciate any help!
Am I overthinking all this? Really scared to call social security, lol.
You do have to notify the "important" ones that will be redirected of the address change. So any bills she gets, government mailings (social Security, IRS, and the like) should be notified of the change. The Post Office will notify senders of the change of address for 1 year but not sure I would trust that to go smoothly.
And to make it easier on you this can be done on line!
