Hello everyone some advice would be helpful if that is ok. My dad is in a care home mam living in the family home.she had no lpa nothing as she was able to manage all their finances relating to Care home bills and house hold expenditure. She has very unexpectedly passed away last week. I am now in a position I am not able to pay any of dad's bills as bank won't allow. They had no third party mandate or anything as I said earlier mam was able herself. I do know because dad has dementia I need to apply for guardianship now and appointee for his pension but am so worried about care home bills because mam has died her savings have gone to him in a joint account and he will become a self funder how can I pay his bills in the meantime or can the local authority step in till it's sorted thank you everyone for taking the time to read this
