Hi all
My mother has fallen for a romance fraud - she believes she is married to a famous violinist and sending significant amounts of money via apple gift cards and other means to various persons in Nigeria. She now says she has known this person for over 20 years / various other stories tgat make no sense and are not true. She failed a memory test at the GP and has been referred to the memory clinic but is not engaging.
Police and social services have been involved. We have a registered lasting power of attorney but not sure of next steps / if we can use it without a formal medical diagnosis.
Does anyone know what we can do / advice on next steps?
Thanks so much
