Before Mum died and after Dad had been diagnosed, she sensibly organised the paperwork to ensure that gaining Lasting Power of Attorney for Dad’s affairs would be a formality when the time came. Luckily she had the foresight to include my name on the documents. I have heard of so many cases where this has NOT been organised or even thought of until it’s too late and then the process can be very drawn out.
UK Wills & Trusts have kindly agreed to include us on their website to help raise more pledges and the advice they give about Lasting Power of Attorney is very useful: http://www.ukwillsandtrusts.co.uk/Dementia-Effects_of_Mental_Illness
I have included their web link in the ‘Blogroll’ column to the right of this page…
