I'm sorry - we can't surely want things both ways ie for a PWD to be safeguarded by the legal system and company procedures which are in place to counter possible financial abuse, and then, however well meaningly, use the very ways used by those who set out to defraud vulnerable folk- what is being suggested, however well meaning, is not a responsible way to proceed
surely it is important to gain POA or Deputyship or Appointeeship, or whatever is appropriate, and then sort out financial arrangements, however awkward that may be
In my MIL case the milk delivery company actually have under FAQ..."can I open an account for my parents?" On their website. The answer is yes as obviously there is a demand. They even tell you how to do it with various payment methods. So i used it . No requirement for POA. I could have sent the milk delivery anywhere with anyone's card as payment
