Unfortunately, my mum is showing strong signs of dementia. In order to provide for her future, we were hoping that she would sign the enduring power of attorney form. As she lives on her own, we are worried that she will find it difficult to manage her own finances. However, she has refused to sign the forms (paranoia is one of the symptoms).
How will not having the forms signed affect her future?
Is there any way that when she does get ill, we can get the power of attorney? (We live in the UK.)
You’re either going to have to live with your parent’s decision, or take the matter to a court of law, where you may end up having to commit your parent to a nut-house, or an old folk’s home.
