My father set up POA 18 months ago as I think he suspected something was happening.
Then last summer he ended up in hospital after an incident of mistaking all his medication, my sister and I spoke to him and 'activated' the POA.
Since then I have been handling his finances. Now he constantly asks for his cash card and cheque book back, and when I say why? what needs paying...he cany tell me? (i.e. there isnt anything!)
and when I say, 'well I am looking after that arent I?' he seems to ignore it and ask again?
now my sister says, well just give it back to him, cant hurt!!
where do I go from here?
is this a step away from the accusations of taking the money etc?
