Our father has developed a belief that the utility bills are "stealing" his money, leading him to make phone calls to PG&E and Earthlink, demanding his money and requesting them to close his accounts.

Fortunately, we have successfully established contact with the companies to prevent any potential disruptions in service so far....

Hopefully we can keep everything going long enough for our father to either passaway or become incapacitated. At which point it becomes moot because our legal document (POA) would go into effect.
