VIC Living & caring for elderly mother - what happens when she dies?

I was in a similar situation and found that the carers discount really helped when things got tight financially. It’s worth checking if you’re eligible, especially if you’ve been the live-in carer for a while. That small saving made ongoing costs a bit more manageable after Mum passed, especially during timeframes when the estate hadn’t been fully sorted yet.
This is a difficult topic to think about, but it's good that you're planning ahead. The key documents here are your mother's will and any powers of attorney she may have. If you have power of attorney, it generally ends upon her death. After she passes, the executor of her will is responsible for managing her estate. If you've been caring for her and using your own funds, you might have a claim against the estate for reimbursement, but you'd need to have good records and likely get legal advice.
