I have just received a bill from my dad's solicitor (also mine, for one or two matters). The chargeable events itemised go back to April last year, when my dad visited them - in his confusion, without an appointment - asking about a health and welfare PoA.
He had already set up a finance and property LPA, naming me and my partner as his attorneys. The LPA was registered in October 2013, but I didn't take over my dad's affairs until he went into care in September 2014.
My question is - can the solicitor hold me legally responsible for the charges incurred by visits my dad made to them in April 2014, totalling nearly £500?
Thanks for any help and suggestions
