Accompanying My Mother During a Meeting

Is it within my mother's legal rights to have me, her daughter, present at a meeting regarding her living situation? My mother was told that I would have to wait outside and that her care provider couldn't even attend the meeting with her. Background information: My mother is on Section 8, needed to move from her old apartment into a new one, but needed to do certain paperwork, which she did. Section 8 hasn't given her her transfer voucher for some reason having to do with the old landlord not filing out the proper paperwork.

My mother was told by someone handling her file that she needs to come down to the office and that she couldn't bring anyone in the meeting with her. She's getting older and I want to make sure I'm there to understand everything that is being told to her so they wont take advantage of her.

Re: Accompanying My Mother During a Meeting

You need to provide more facts. What is your mother's "living situation", and what do these people have to do with it? What sort of "file" are you talking about? Who is this "someone" your mother has been told to meet with? Who told her she couldn't bring anyone with her? Did they tell her why? Without these facts there is no way to offer any guidance.
