Hi I wonder if anyone who has applied for deputyship is able to answer this question...
On the COP forms it says If property is held in joint names the deputy when appointed will not have the legal authority to deal with its sale..,
My dad is in a care home with dementia, my mum lives in their home which they are tenants in common.
both me & mum are applying for deputyship but does that really mean if dad passes away neither me nor mum can sell the property & what if mum dies and dad has no mental capacity , can I not sell the property? If my husband were to be acting deputy could I then sell the property?
thankyou.
