Anyone with elderly relatives or not, then get a Lasting Power of Attorney in place before they loose their marbles
One for finance & one for health. Easy to complete online, don't pay anyone to do it for you
My wife is battling her mum to get her to complete one, as her mum thinks my wife is going to steal all her money,my MIL is still of sound mind! This is despite me telling my MIL how much easier things are will one in place! There are horror stories about children robbing their parents, but its rare
Glad I got my mum's financial one done before she lost her mental capability.
