Short story I was the Power of Attorney for my uncle who was in a retirement home in Fort Myers.
I would made all payment from his checking account but within 48 hours of his passing his account was closed.
I had more than enough money, so I could pay for his funeral.
But since I live in TV, I had to petition the courts in Fort Meyers to get reimbursed.
Which was a process.
This happened so quickly I never had the chance to inform the bank or social security.
The way it seemed, they knew he was gone before I did.
