What happens if an attorney to be disagrees with the donor's preferences. The attorneys was originally completely against seeing a solicitor because of the cost.. The LPAs were completed and sent off but since then the donor has changed their mind on several things. Now another sibling has been added(me) and one of them is saying a solicitor needs to be consulted because of the donor's preferences and possibly for the solicitor to be the attorney. They have not given a reason for this when asked and just say a solicitor needs to be seen. They are saying only them and the donor should see the solicitor and not the other two attorneys. It's all about the preferences but they won't explain what the issue is and have become quite unpleasant about it all. They are saying this is taking too much of their time and I'm concerned how they would manage to be an attorney if they are struggling to find time to discuss this between the four of us.
A solicitor has been approached and gave some advice but they only offer a complete advice, prep, registering the LPA service, they don't do just advice. I don't know if that's a common thing. The solicitor said straight off that this could be done without using a solicitor. The solicitor gave advice on the instructions and preferences section and clarified a few things and that was all that was needed so we thought. Now the other attorney is not happy and I'm not sure where we go from here. It's very clear now that this would not be a team thing. Any advice would be much appreciated.
