Dear All,
My mother and father set up enduring power of attorney for each, probably around ten years ago.
At the time nobody thought there would be a need for anything like this.
My father passed away five years ago.
My mother who is now 94, has been falling a lot around the home and been in & out of hospital quite a few times she has also become extremely forgetful.
She insists on living at home - alone
As a family - three siblings, after much, much discussion all feel that our mum would be safer in a nursing home.
The solicitors that was used to setup everything at the time has changed hands & their person handling EPOA's is on maternity leave.....
I have made contact with them & one of her colleagues mentioned a six month process as it was one of the older types of EPOA's
Is this called registering it?
Would it typically take six months? I am concerned about this timeline to register the EPA, as this timeframe would seem to defeat the purpose of the EPA in Mums case. Since she is 94 years old & moving to a Nursing home???
Any advice please
Cashman
