We advised sarah and ensured that the lasting powers of attorney were made quickly and with the knowledge of her three children to avoid later dispute.
Sarah* contacted us to establish a power of attorney when she noticed some issues with her memory.
Sarah was a widow in her 70s with three grown-up children. Two of her children lived a significant distance away (one of them in America).
Sarah decided to name her daughter who lived close by as her attorney and another daughter as a replacement attorney – to step in if her first daughter was unable to fulfil the role.
We worked with Sarah’s GP to ensure the lasting power of attorney was quickly and thoroughly organised with the knowledge of her three children to avoid any later disputes.
*Name has been changed.
