I'm just wondering what this means in regards to the sort of decisions you have might have to make, what sort of responsibility it is.
To explain my Mum likely has dementia so my Dad wants to set up a POA for both him and my Mum. My Dad is very reluctant to take responsibility for things like banking even though mentally capable as it's something my Mum normally does so I'm guessing that he will expect me to sort through bills etc but other than that I don't know what it might entail (I understand it would depend on what happens but would like to hear the sort of things in a broad sense).
My parents want to make me and my sister attorneys. We don't get a long (she has some very serious anger management issues and I haven't seen her in a couple of years). My Dad says at some point we'll have to all go to a solicitor together. Just the thought of being in a room with her puts me on edge but I don't think I've got much choice there.
My parents don't know I'm Autistic and have ADHD. I do find paperwork difficult as I can miss understand it. I also have difficulty due to audio-processing problems. I think I'm concerned that I won't understand what the POA means during the solicitor meeting and maybe I'll agree to something I don't understand? As my parents don't know about the ASD & ADHD obviously I can't discuss concerns with them.
So im looking for advice for following:
1. The sorts of things I might have to be responsible for (I expect it will mainly come down to me not my sister).
2. As we don't get along what happens if we don't agree?
