How do you get power of attorney of someone who has Alzheimers and was left the benefactor of a deceased spouse?
Contact a solicitor who will draw up the papers. The person who is granting the power must then sign the document and this signature must be witnessed. The person(s) who are to have power of attorney must also sign the documents and their signatures are also witnessed. The powers available can be restricted if so desired or left entirely open. A power of attorney will cease if the subject becomes mentally unstable through ageing or illness. An enduring power of attorney can be obtained which bypasses this rule and allows a continuing administration of affairs by the attorney. The process costs about £100.00. If you engage a solicitor. You can do it yourself if you obtain the pre-printed paperwork (available online) but be careful this is a very sensitive area. Other family members and friends can become very upset if this is not handled sensitively and openly and is seen as having been done in some clandestine manner. If you go down that route tell all interested parties what you are doing.
