Hi, I’m a newbie on the forum and would appreciate some advice (I fear this could be the first of many questions).
My mother recently died and my father could no longer manage at home. He has moved to a care home and has been assessed by his social worker as having lost capacity. I’d like to get on with settling my mother’s estate, but my father is a coexecutor. I’ve seen that people can decline to be executor but without capacity I don’t think signing a deed of renunciation would be valid. Is there some other way to legitimately get around this?Just to add there is no PoA for my father.
Thanks for any advice.
