I have been told by several financial experts that theres no need to register the EPA
yet
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr if I hear once more "data Protection" excuses as to why they will only accept an EPA registered with Court of Protection or a letter of Authority signed by my Mother when all I am trying to do is get pensions etc paid directly into her bank account i will scream
The Bank were quite happy to accept the EPA signed 10 years ago as are several Building Societies .........I even have letters from them saying its all quite acceptable
I live a distance from my Mother , she will not co operate in signing anything
refuses to recognise what a mess she has got things in and what little info I do have on things because she has ripped up /burnt/ hidden stuff is making life very difficult
Yes I could send the EPA off to Court of Protection with a cheques for £120 and then pay for lord knows how many certified copies to be done but that takes 35 days ( dont know if thats working days cos if it is that makes it 45 days )
so it wont be back before I am due to be abroad and my poor sister will need to cope
Honestly If I was trying to take money out or make a claim I could understand but I am simply trying to make life easier
Have others found this problem
