Should I transfer utilities into my name or leave them in drcarsed's name? I was told prior that deceased did not want them changed or forme to pay the mortgage. Highly doubt this is true, as it's totally out of character for him. Again nobody has spoken to him from here since his decision for me to move on. All communication since has been through the granddaughter who claimed he did not want to talk to me but it was his decision and she had 'the power to carry it out. '
In Arizona, it is generally recommended to transfer utilities into your name if you are the one living in the property and using them. This might involve:
- Contacting utility companies to make the change
- Providing proof of residency if required
Consult with a local attorney for detailed guidance.
That same day POA took key to mailbox and advised she would drop any mail of mine back off. She did not. I believe I can pull up informed delivery. Is this abuse of power and as it's a US postal service box, considered a federal offense?
In Arizona, the power of attorney (POA) has certain obligations and abuse may be punishable. However, mishandling mail can also fall under federal law. It's important to:
- Document instances of potential abuse
- Contact a local attorney or law enforcement
Note: It's illegal in most cases to knowingly open, obstruct, or discard someone else's mail.
