The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau has created a Guide to Managing Another Person's Finances that may be useful to those who have a Financial Power of Attorney for another or act as a guardian or conservator for another person: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/consumer-tools/managing-someone-elses-money/.

The AARP has also created Tips for Managing Someone Else's Money that you may find helpful: https://www.aarp.org/caregiving/financial-legal/info-2020/managing-someone-elses-money.html.

This brochure was created by Idaho Legal Aid Services, Inc. and advises seniors and their caregivers on available resources for caregivers, both legal and non-legal.
