Hi
Quick question, just after FIL died in 2015 we had POA documents raised for both Financial and Health situations for MIL at the insistence of her brother by a solicitor and registered at the OPG.
Since then OH and myself have merrily managed her finances. We have a debit card on the current account and are registered on her savings accounts and pay for everything as necessary using the POA document.
The GP has now deemed MIL to not have capacity to make decisions about her health and welfare and SS are setting up a best interests assessment. The lady I spoke to said we have to register the POA, but didn't know what we have to do, so does anyone here know. Do I need to go back to the solicitor who drew them up and registered them with the OPG? How do I use the document we have? There is 1 copy at MIL's house and I have a couple of certified copies to use.
Thanks in advance for advice
