Further to my earlier post regarding a sibling having hold of my fathers financial affairs...
It would appear that at the time of my post no one had POA. However today I have received a text from that sibling informing me that my father has given him POA. I think my dads choice is wrong and when he asked me to do it 2 years ago I had declined and told him to leave it with a solicitor due to family divides. What rights do I have such as demanding access to bank statements etc to ensure my dads affairs are being dealt with properly. I would like to see a backlog of statements and details of ISAs he holds but my brother is denying me access.
Giving him POA gives him the legal right to do what we think he may be doing in the first place, running down the accounts.
It's a terrible time and do not understand my dads choice given the past. I do not understand it but I respect it...if that makes sense. I would like my dads financial affairs to be dealt with honestly and when the time comes fairly. My brother who has POA has already told my other brother that dad has come into an inheritance and that he won't be getting his hands on a penny. That was before he had POA.
Any help greatly appreciated.
