This is my wife's account so hope you don't mind me posting
My mother in-law passed away after having an accident in the hospital in February after being given a section 3 . My wife and i both have LPA and we are hoping that her bungalow will eventually be sold before the end of the year (still trying to finish sorting out her belongings).
The reason for this posting is now my mother.
She got married 20 years again (4th marriage) and moved to the other side of the country. Anyway long story short , had a call in April 2019 to say that she was getting a divorce (police were called and he was removed from the property for his own safety). Sold their family home and informed me that she was coming back to my area. Found her a rental property last November. The first day she arrived back the police were called as she was out in the street accusing my family of stealing money (forgot to add she is profoundly deaf with a speech impediment) Anyway managed to calm her down and took her home. I also found the money in a sandwich box inside a carrier bag (over12k)
Then the odd behavior started, which we took as an issue caused by her hearing and not being able to make a cohesive sentence. After that the police calls started with my mother walking the streets in the early hours knocking on doors. Then she got aggressive at the GP's which ended with me getting a call and taking her to hospital on a medical assessment ward. After 7 days. She was given a section 2 and moved to the same ward that my mother in-law was in when she had her accident. They have now given her a section 3 since she has been in there. Due to the fact that she has tried to commit suicide three times, by trying to climb out of a 2nd floor window, smashed a mirror and cut her wrists and swallowed her hearing aids (which she had to have a procedure to remove them). Then to top it all had a call to say that she had been sexually inappropriate with two males, along with walking into other patients rooms late at night. All this at 81 years of age
On to my question
I also have an LPA for my mother. What should i do with her rented property and possessions. There is no way i can take her possessions into my own home, due to the sheer volume that she has. She moved from a 5 bed detached house into a 2 bedroom bungalow. The spare room is stacked floor to ceiling with boxes along with the attic (as this was only supposed to be temporary situation). Some of her possessions have been willed to my sons and my wife (i have got an African grey parrot left to me, which she gave away to friends of the family within a month of moving back here )
So don't know what i can/should do.
Sorry its so long
