My wife and I are in our 70s and just getting round to LPAs. We have two children who we think to act as replacement Attorneys for each of us who will be each others main Attorney. Trouble is one works abroad and does not want to return to the UK and the other is thinking of moving to Canada. We need Finance and Care LPAs and think that these two should be named on both. That's the theory anyway. but who else is there apart from a solicitor to do the job (but presumably one would need to be involved in the making of the LPAs and so the cost).
If my wife is not capable I take over. Vice-Versa. If I then become incapable offspring need to come in. Or what?
It all seems so complicate. Especially educating the replacements as to their duties of even getting hold of them if they are far away.
Anyone's opinion and experience welcome. Many thanks.
