Money after death: How safe are seniors at home?

Answer

What practical steps can families in Artà or Mallorca take to safeguard an elderly relative living alone?

Set up routines for monitoring finances, such as weekly or digital checks of bank statements and a reliable contact in Spain who can intervene quickly. Consider a simple registry at the municipal office listing trusted contacts and bank contacts, and store keys and payment instruments securely. Use alternatives like standing orders or prepaid cards when possible, and ensure carers have basic checks and training.
