Hi, I have an LPA on my mums financial matters, I do not have an LPA on her health.
I took the Financial LPA (FLPA) because mom started to lose money, credit and debit cards and signing up with these charities that approached her in the street. I also did it because I was concerned that in her vulnerable state someone could get her to sign over her house or change her will.
I now believe that the FPLA does not actually protect her from being able to sign deeds and wills without my presence or guidance and therefore she could possibly be duped out of her house and home.
First question, is this true and second if the FPLA does not give protection against this is there something else I should be doing to get this protection.
Before anyone thinks I am doing this to protect my inheritance, its not the case, Mom is at the stage where she is getting confused about men, thinking that they are her husband (dad died in 2001) and most recently, two days ago, a boyfriend who she loves and is about to come and live with her. So in fact moms house will be needed to pay for her care at some point as I live several hours away.
So it is a genuine concern if the FPLA does not offer any protection in these matters.
