My parents drew up their LPAs nearly 10 years ago. I'm an only child so they made me attorney. Didn't really ask me .... I was pretty low contact with them - and really don't get along with my father. My circumstances were very different then - I was (unhappily, although they didn't know that) married to a high earner, didn't work as had a disabled DC. Parents lived an hour and a half away. I had a long, acrimonious divorce, was made homeless. All very traumatic. I'm coming out of it now. I work full time, long hours and an hour long commute.
My mother died about 5 months ago and my father is increasingly frail, and has fallen a lot - just been discharged from hospital with a care package. I don't visit - I'm low contact for good reasons (won't go into them here). The social worker asked if I had POA. I have realised that I don't want to be his attorney. I'm already running my disabled DCs life, including care and health decisions and finances, so I don't have time for a start. And I don't want to.
Do I have to do anything to 'resign' from this?
