mum gave me PoA 5years ago and I wish sometimes she hadn't as I don't want to pull it. Wish I had when she refused the home.
My husband refuses point blank to set up P.O.A .He thinks we are after his money. Any ideas would be welcome:
My Mum has recently been diagnosed with early Dementia. I have been advised to sort out Power of Attorney. I want to try and do this myself rather than through a solicitor and have approached Mum's GP to sign the Mental Capacity bit which he doesn't like to do. He said he would refer Mum to a physiatrist for assessment. Are there any other options other than this route, which Mum will be reluctant to go through with. If I asked a close friend of hers would this be enough? Also, is there any argument for not pursuing this Power of Attorney or should I just keep going?
I am in the process of doing power of attorney for my husband he has early stage Alzheimers. I have done this with a solicitor also made new wills and will be changing my deeds to Tennants in Common. This will protect you if you own a property it can take up to 3 months to complete.
