Along with my brother and sister we all have an LPOA for my mother who is suffering from dementia. It covers both finances and welfare.
Originally my sister had control of my Mums account but I noticed some worrying signs an attempted to view the statements, but was unable to.
Eventually I arranged a meeting voiced my concerns and eventually arranged for a new account for my Mum that we all had access to, but ensured my sister supplied all the statements for the old account before it was closed down.
on seeing the accounts I noticed that my sister had used money from her account to buy herself meals pay for petrol without my or my brothers knowledge. Is this allowed?
as time went buy I noticed continued expense coming from the account for pub and restaurant expenses. It turned out that both my brother and sister were going out with my Mum and getting her to pay the bill, worryingly though when my brother went out with my Mum her took his whole family and my Mum was paying for the whole familys m?eals and drinks.
It also turned out that my brother and sister had paid themselves £1000 each from my mums account without letting me know.
I have attempted to get both my siblings to request for money to be spent on them and to request authority from all LPOA before any money is passed to their accounts from my Mum. But they still continue to transfer moniey from my mums account to themselves with seeking authorisation from all LPOA's.
Am I write in thinking they need authorisation from all LPOA's before taking money from my mums account?
