Myself and my brother were facing a really complex and not very nice case from the OPG. After becoming Power Of attorney for our grandmother, as no other family members would do anything to help. We found ourselves in a not very nice position, following some extremely bad advice of making investments to be able to grow her money to pay for her care fees/ set her up in the best way possible. This also resulted in outstanding care fees as we could not get the investment back.
David liaised with all parties, put our case across in a detailed and truthful manner and managed to reach the best possible outcome.
I would highly recommend getting in touch with Steene Law solicitors for anything POA/LPA related and would recommend reaching out to them first to assist setting power of attorney up the right way.
Although you can fill in the papers yourself, POA/LPA is an extremely complex legal area, especially if the person in question becomes lacking in mental capacity. It is also far more work than you will ever anticipate to act for someone in this way. If you have family of your own and full time jobs etc. it can be a real struggle.
Thanks David
