Power Of Attorney
My Mum has Alzheimer's and is deteriorating quite fast. Sometimes she makes sense, sometimes its just a mixture of words. My Dad is OK, but at 92 and 90, we know they won't be with us for much longer. My Brother and I are happy to have Power of Attorney for them both between us, and we'd like to get it in place sooner rather than later. Dad is OK with this.
Do we need to apply for one for each of them [ie one for Dad and one for Mum] ?
Ordinary PoA or Lasting PoA?
Thanks Guys.

All you need to know about PoA https:// www. gov. uk/ power- of- attorney/ overview You get one for each person so one for your Mum and one for your Dad. Sadly you may be too late to get one for your Mum as they need to be competent to give it, ie understand very simply what they are signing and what it will mean.

Getting LPA for your dad should be easy - look at: http:// www.mon eysavin gexpert .com/fa mily/po wer-of- attorne y?utm_s ource=M SE_News letter& amp;utm _medium =bignot e-four& amp;utm _term=0 8-Oct-1 3-v2&am p;utm_c ampaign =family &ut m_conte nt=4#po werofa
Your mum could be a problem.
If all you want to do is pay their fuel bills etc you might be OK with just your dad; if they have separate savings that you will need to get at that won't work. Then a problem might arise if you lose your dad first.
Doing it yourself is easy - we've did it a few months ago.
