I'm trying to sort the form out for Lasting Power of Attorney health and welfare. I think I've done it apart from the signatures of a witness and 'Certificate Provider'.
It states the Certificate Provider can be someone who has known dad for at least 2 years, or a GP etc, but no family members. So I was thinking one of the neighbours who've known dad for the best part of 50 years, but then underneath that it asks for the Certificate Provider to comment on how they know dad, but they can't be just an acquaintance.
Would such a neighbour suffice?
I suggested to mum to get Dad's GP to sign it, but she's all in a panic that the GP will not have the time to do it.
Also, Mum and Dad sorted 'Enduring Power of Attorney Property and Finance' with a solicitor, costing over £1000.00.
It was barely a year prior to when Lasting Power of Attorney coming about, but they were informed that Enduring Power of Attorney would suffice
Is this correct, or were they fobbed off, and we will have to do Property and Finance too now?
I'd appreciate any advice as Mum's in a spin about it, which is starting to get me spinning too
