Hi all, im new to this forum and have been reading through some of the previous threads which have been very helpful but im hoping to get some advice on court of protection. My mum is in a care home and my dad still lives in their home - mums social worker said that we need to get COP for mum because of her money being in joint accounts and the bank could freeze the accounts and may us pay for mums full care costs but shes only just a financial assessment done and everything was disclosed so why would they look at freezing the bank accounts?
