Author: It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Nothing has changed with Mom’s car, no lien release and no duplicate title so we can sell the car. With the dementia that comes with the Alzheimer’s, Mom has a hard time comprehending what is going on. I’ve tried to explain it to her, and she keeps going through all of her papers trying to find documents for her car.
The people who were going to buy Mom’s car ended up buying something else. Now, Mom wavers on whether or not she should sell the car. I think she has accepted the fact that she should not drive, but she believes her car is worth a lot and hates the thought of selling it for only $2,000…
I’ve called the bank a few times to see if they’ve found anything, but so far they have nothing. Hopefully they will find it soon, and we can come to an agreement on what is best. Maybe it would just be easier for her to give us the keys and we can keep it around for an extra car…

Are any of your kids old enough to drive yet? Would they be able to use the car? I can’t believe how many hoops you’ve had to jump through and still no resolution. Here’s hoping the bank comes through soon!
Well, my oldest will be 14 in February, so it won’t be TOO long before he will need a car. There are also times having an extra car around would be nice, too. We’re starting to lean toward keeping the car around, as long as Mom gives up the keys…
I hope that you are able to get things with the car figured out.
