Hi, I'm new to this forum. It's comforting to read the similar issues we are all facing. I wish you all strength and hugs x
My question is that I am an attorney for my grandfather (under both a financial and health lpoa). I'm joint and several with 3 other siblings. My grandfather has severe dementia and I'm not sure how long he has. Can I as an attorney withdraw cash from his account and pay a funeral director now for a prepaid funeral? If so I assume I can do this alone? I.e without the consent of my siblings? ( I will of coursebe discussing arrangements with them) but it seems that if I do not get funds now then I may have to pay personally when he dies and will have to wait until probate before I am reimbursed. I will not qualify for the funeral grant. Thanks in advance if anyone can help?
