Hi, can anyone advise what's the best way to go about getting power of attorney when caring for a family member ? We are having a lot of problems with other members of the family who are trying to put her in care behind our backs, which is a bit of a cheek when they hardly have any contact ! Need to get it sorted but don't know where to start, thanks in advance

You don't need to spend hundreds on a solicitor, do it yourself or ask a charity like Age UK with help filling it in. If this is about where he/she should live it's very important that you fill in the health & welfare one as well as the financial one. They cost £110 each to register. Your family member must still have the capacity to agree and understand in the moment what he/she is signing.

Hi Thanks for your advice, my mother in law lives with us , her other children hardly ever visit or phone yet they are trying to put her in a home behind our backs, I really don't understand why , as it's not like they are sitting with her when she's upset and anxious after the mind games they are playing... Gets me so angry .. How can someone mess with someone's mind when they have Alzheimer's?
Make sure you read all the notes on the website before you fill in the form, I think if your mother in law gets pension credit or any benefits she may not have to pay for the LPAs.
