A relative has asked me to take power of attorney for their affairs. She is fully compos mentis but aged 94 is quite frail.
Can't say I look forward to doing it but she is such a lovely person. We already do a lot for her.
My wife had power of attorney for her mother but she had dementia so social services etc were involved.......this, I assume, will be different.
What I DONT WANT is to immediately take over so that she has no authority............I want her to be in charge as long as possible.
Myself and her are meeting with her solicitor next week to explain things eg she wants me to ensure the will and her estate are handled properly.
I am going to google it and, as I say, meet with her solicitor but any obvious pointer would be appreciated.
Thanks
