Hi,
My dad was diagnosed with late onset Alzheimer’s in 2011.
In 2015 he changed his Will and appointed a solicitor to be his LPA. I know that he did not declare he had any form of dementia at the time but I think from the progress of the condition he would have had mid stage dementia.
He now has later stage dementia and was officially declared not to have capacity in 2020 and is now in a care home. I always had a great relationship with my dad who raised me as a single parent. I believe he wasn’t of sound mind when he changed his Will and appointed a solicitor to be his LPA instead of his children. I believe I could technically challenge the legality of the LPA decision on prescribed grounds but wondered how likely this would be to get revoked as I’m going up against a solicitor?
Does anyone have experience of challenging an LPA when the LPA is themselves a solicitor?
