Hi,
I have registered an EPA over my dad's affairs, and just got back the registered document from the OPG - great (was worried it had got stuck in the postal strikes).
Now trying to find out how to deal with the banks etc. My dad has a dozen or more different bank and building society accounts, shareholdings, tax, pension, utilities, insurance, etc., all of which I'd like to gradually get transferred to my address.
Should I get some certified copies made - will most organisations accept this, or will some want to see the original? I've no intention of sending the original through the post in the current circumstances ...
Also the EPA document (which was written 10 years ago) has old addresses for both my dad and myself - is this likely to cause a problem with the banks recognising it?
Thanks
David
