Hello
well, Mum wouldn't sign the POA papers because she got muddled and also thought the Solicitor was asking her to sign so she could have access to her money!
I have asked time again if Mum has capacity, and get told that it depends in relation to what. However, my sibling and I have discussed that to pursue the POA we would probably end up in the same situation, whilst the Solicitor fee goes up, up, up.
So it looks like we will need to consider Deputyship.
I've just been reading through some of the guidance on the internet......it seems hellishly expensive not only for the donor, but also for the deputy.
Can anybody who has been through deputyship advise me please what is the cost to them inclusive of security bonds and how frequently there is a cost to them? Neither of us are well off altho Mum is (however this will be her source of funding in CH for the next 10 years or so), and the likelihood is that whilst this may be the next best thing we can do, we may not be able to afford it.
Any help please lovely TP-ers?
TIA
