I'm hoping someone can clarify things for me as I seem to keep going round in circles.....
Mum has lost capacity (no LPA) and is in a care home. Dad's been paying the bills, but now he's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and requires a care home too (we do have LPA for him).
We've been avoiding applying for deputyship as it seems so complex, but we can't really avoid it any longer as we need to sell their house to pay for care.
Am I right in thinking I need to apply to be deputy for mum, and another application to be trustee in order to sell their house?
If so, does anyone know if they can be sent to the COP at the same time?
Thanks in advance for any replies
