You're in the same boat I'm in. No help or backup. My mom is also 84. If your mom has friends or a church or something that might be a start.

I'm glad you're working on a plan now, there are more details than you can imagine. I thought my folks had living wills, it turned out to be just pour over wills and asset paths. When my father died last year was when I figured out they had changed things recently, and apparently not finished.

Figure out all you can now before the pressure hits, you'll thank yourself later.
