Please can someone advise me?
The problem is that someone( known to the pwd in question) is insisting that they should be receiving a large amount of money every month from the Pwd as it was allegedly promised. The next of kin is refusing to pay out this money as she believes this is abuse of a vulnerable person and it will be needed to pay for the care home where the pwd resides.
The pwd denied having made any such promises when the issue was discussed with him and the manager of the NH. While in hospital recently, the medical staff had to step in when the pwd became agitated as they were being asked to sign a large cheque for this person who had come to visit. The staff stated they had a duty of care to the pwd.
This person is now threatening to go to ‘the authorities’ and sending abusive emails to the next of kin. The details of the alleged agreement vary from email to email.
What should we do?
