Hi there, I am asking on behave of someone else, so please bear with me as I try to explain the situation.
My BIL (49) had a major stroke 3 weeks ago. He really is not 'with it' in any way. He is in a rehabilitation unit and will be so for some time.
He is not married to his partner (have been together for around 26 years) have two children together and own their house jointly with no mortgage.
She has said she needs to get Lasting power of attorney for medical and money issues. She has asked DH and I to help her with this as she is pretty busy looking after the two dc, working full time and visiting BIL.
I have had a look at the Gov website and the forms to be filled in for the Court of protection. Am I being right in thinking that she really needs to ask a solicitor to help her? Or am I being a bit dense in not understanding it all?
Many thanks
