Like most couples we are each others next of kin.
Now Tom no longer has capacity I need some one to act on my behalf, I'm sure one or both of my brothers will.
The problem I have is if I was not able to act as Tom's next of kin, would it have to be his daughter? He has a son but no one knows where he is no one has seen him for 20years.
Or could his Granddaughter and K as his great-grandson step up and if so how do I ensure that SS, the CH and DWP would listen to them?
Or because I have LPA and am the only named person would the court of protection become involved?
Sorry lots of questions
