Does anyone know if a UK POA is valid in Ireland?
My reality challenged relative of other threads fame signed a power of attorney and an enduring power of attorney in the UK with my sister, but has since come to live in Ireland and is now a) refusing to sign an enduring power of attorney over here and b) not competent to do so anyway.
So we are in a bit of a sticky situation as she has assets in both the UK and Ireland, but in terms of long-term care will probably be in Ireland and her main residence is here.
There is nothing covering it in either country's POA legislation nor are the couple of solicitors we have spoken to seen any case law on it, so I am wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation?
Again thanks for any advice.
