I understand executor is when some one has passed away and power of attorney when they are alive. Apologies for the mistake. But what if the person is never coming home, speaking from my own experience here, would we have to wait until the court of protection rules, to clear the house? There is no power on, and the contents are very cold and damp some of it is smelly as contaminated by stale cigarette smoke.. House has been unoccupied over a year now. I thought it would be best to just deal with the actual rubbish and clutter and wait until the legal situation is clarified before dealing with anything which could have monetary value???
Do you have siblings? Assuming you have, Would they be in agreement for the property to have heating on low to prevent further damp/potential burst pipes if we get a bad winter etc. I can’t see an issue removing rubbish from the property & anything valuable kept elsewhere for safekeeping - at the end of the day you’d be preserving an asset & looking after things - In my opinion I can’t see an issue with that.
