Medical Capacity Assessment for EPA

I am named as a joint attorney for my widowed parent who has dementia and I've just found out that the Medical Capacity Check for EPA was done 4 months ago by one of the 3 attorneys (using a doctor of this other attorney's choice). The EPA was made in 2017 and it's 3 attorneys acting jointly. As far as I'm aware, any decisions on care should be done jointly after the donor has lost capacity.
My question is; should I have been informed sooner? Or is this delay in informing a fellow attorney acceptable?
 
Both of them are my siblings. I have been speaking to them but in the last couple of months the relationship has deteriorated. However, there is communication with the attorney who arranged the capacity check.

So don't put your parent in the middle of this fight.
If you have genuine grounds to challenge, then do so. Otherwise, step aside from the day to day issues re EPOA and visit / care for your parent as you normally would.
