Hi, I posted here a while ago for advice about my father's deputyship application and issues with my sister's behaviour (moving her son into my dad's apartment mainly). I decided to withdraw from the application and the CoP has now asked me to complete a COP9. Please can anyone tell me if the wording below is the right sort of thing to put under "grounds for seeking order of direction"? Thank you
My sister xxx and I submitted an application for joint deputyship of my father's financial affairs - Ref: xxx . It was submitted to a third party (xx Legal Services) so I am unsure of the exact date however I believe it was sent to you in July or possibly August 2023. It has not yet been approved. The reasons for my application to withdraw my name from the deputyship application are as follows:
1. My mother died in July and my father required a lot of care and was placed in a care home in June, which has taken him a long time to settle. I have been under a lot of stress looking after both my parents in the last year and more. I have had a total of almost 3 months sick leave due to stress and although I returned to work in August I am still not fully recovered and have been having counselling. I continue to support my father with regular visits and emotional support and feel that the additional stress of the deputyship would be detrimental to my health.
2. My relationship with my sister X has deteriorated and since September we have not been on speaking terms. In the circumstances it is untenable for us to be joint deputies. I believe she is happy to be sole deputy.
