Just seeking some advice or experience of other members if anyone has ever set up Enduring Power of Attorney.
My mum is 82, and recently had covid. Thankfully she has recovered, but it obviously played on her mind somewhat, and we had a conversation recently about how I would be able to sort out her affairs if she ever wasn't able to manage herself. I did a bit of googling, and it lookes like Enduring Power of Attorney would fit the bill.
As I understand it, we have signed the papers now (setting out any restrictions), but only register the Power of Attorney with the Office of Care and Protection as and when mum is no longer able to manager her own affairs.
I've downloaded the forms from The Law Society website, and mum and I completed and signed these, and they were witnessed by my aunt, but i also see there are a series of forms (EPA 1-4) on the NI Direct website - having read these, it looks like these are for the registration process, and and when that needs to happen.
Anyone any thoughts, they'd be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
Niall
