Power of Attorney Scotland

[musicmecca]

My brother in law obtained POA over my son without consulting me, My son tells me he never asked for his uncle to become his POA, I cannot get access to my sons accounts (at his request) indeed my son cannot view the state of his account himself, My son wishes to cancel the POA. where do I stand in this matter

where do I stand in this matter

nowhere really atm. your son needs to see a solicitor re the matter. he seems capable seeing as he is trying to access his accounts himself.

Why did your son grant a POA in the first place?

 

I suppose your son could just revoke the POA, if he has mental capacity.

thats what i was getting at re 'capable', in brief. go see a solicitor to sort it out. otherwise father shld see a solicitor re to see what it can do.

if things are genuine...

The Power of Attorney should be registered with The Office of the Public Guardian.

 

There's info here regarding amendments ect...

Hi

 

Have a very good read of the above link posted.

 

You need to know exactly what Power of Attorney they have & also if they have to provide a Financial Statement as part of that Power of Attorney (POA)

Yes, they haven't been back since a bit before 8pm last night, Ford. They should have been getting email notifications that there were replies on their thread though.
