I'm sure some of you out there are experienced in this.
I've just received notification that the LPA for my mum has been registered. Both my brother and I are attorneys, so we both will need copies to deal with her affairs. The notification says that, provided she still has capacity - which she does - she can write on the bottom of each page that it is a copy of the original and then sign and date it. Unfortunately, Mum's writing's not good and she finds copying difficult, but she can just about sign her name and write a date. Can I write the words specified and have Mum just sign the copies? Or does she have to write to prove that she has capacity?
The other thing I wanted to know was whether banks can deal with an LPA by post, or whether it has to be something which is done face to face.
Thanks, again, for any help.
