We do not a LPA in place for mum we made a start with it but the solicitor us not convinced my mum is capable of making the decision and after the episode last weekend she had got worse so we have held off going back to the solicitor with the completed forms. But we need to get something in place as she is obsessed with money and when I offered to take her to the bank she refused which is not like her and said she was going on her own. Mum went from recognising I needed to have control of her finances to thinking she is capable of doing things on her own. Just dont want her to do something stupid like draw all her money out and keep it in her bungalow or carry it around with her. She doesnt like the idea of paying for the solicitor which is a lot. reading through some posts made me realise she might do something drastic . Any advice or suggestions would be most welcome
