Hi
New here.
My father in-law has been in hospital for 16 weeks.
Hospital are unable to send him home as he has lost capacity.
He has just been assessed for CHC.
He has given no Power of Attorney, doesn't want anyone to handle his affairs.
We now need to pay his bills, etc.
Trying to apply for Deputyship, have all the forms but no-one is willing to take responsibility and fill in the COP3, no-one, doctors, nurses, Social Worker, DoLS rep. Nothing at all.
What do we do now?
Does COP24 cover this eventuality?
Any hep or advice will be gratefully recieved!
