Last March we sold our home in South Wales in order to move to be nearer my daughter in England, as she worried about me being able to cope with my husband when things got worse. It was hard having to deal with the sale on my own, it was quite stressful as it took over a year.
So when we moved I organised renting a property as I needed time to find the right place to buy which I couldn't organise from South Wales.
We couldn't buy a house here as prices here are a lot more than in South Wales. At last I found a flat in September and had an offer accepted. My husband is struggling with the stairs now so a flat seemed a good idea. All this I have done alone. My husband liked the flat and especially liked the location. I particularly liked the location as it was near to where we are living now and there would be no need to change doctor again.
We also needed to update our wills although I've only been able to update mine as my husband had to have an assessment because of his alzheimers, and he failed the assessment. Now because of this the solicitor has suggested my daughter (who also has poa for my husband) signs for the purchase of the flat on his behalf.
I've agreed to this although I thought it wasn't necessary. He is quite aware that we are moving and said he was looking forward to moving to the flat. That was then.
Just to prove I was right in saying he was capable of making this decision, I've just asked him outright if he is happy at moving. He said yes. I said "so you are happy at buying the flat?" He said "I don't want to buy a flat".
I just left the room and cried.
