Helping a vulnerable relative - where do I start?

Difficult. I think all of us recognise that even with MIA, your sister's choice is going to be getting back into work or downsizing?
Where does that leave dad?
It might help in the short-term if you can be a bit up-beat about the actions she has taken, is taking, and can take.
In the vague hope he might agree 3PA, she you can help him like you are sis?If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing1 -
Hi RAS, yes I expect they need to move but haven't had a lightbulb moment yet. It's hard because they lived there with my Mum fir the first 5 years and then 3 sonce then. There is too much stuff. Not true hoarder level but a fill big bedroom equivalent of paperwork and duplicates. The best thing about moving for me Dad would be he hates his stairlift and they could move with that in mind. When U first came on here I thought by now I would have offered SOAs for at least my sister. I will try and be upbeat with her today. I'd like her email working by Monday and to try and cancel her non-essential payments today for the ones we can log in to.https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6621582/ynab-robber-needs-help-to-execute-the-plan/p1
