Hi
I joined a while ago, and then things got a bit , well, sticky, and I have not been able to follow on.
So, My Dad was officially Mum's carer, and died last Sunday. Not a week yet feels unreal. Yes I am rambling a bit.
So we had sent off the registration for her enduring power of attorney, which has not yet come through. We just did not expect Dad to go yet so it was not urgent. I had a sensitivity about it, because I felt I was taking the role from Dad by doing it and wanted him to retain control. Now he is gone and, of course all joint accounts go to her but she cannot do anything with them, and I do not have the authority until the registration comes through. My brother and I are joint attorney's and trustees and executors for Dad, but how do I deal with paying billls for Mum meanwhile?
Anyone advise?
Also they had EPAs, not LPAs so the health side is not covered. I have been told to get deputyship, but hadn't heard of it before? Anyone know?
Thanks
