Has any one else done rheir own p.o.a ? After a friends husband died very suddenly , it transpired she knew nothing of finances, banking, passwords etc and it was all sad and complicated. I decided to do my own after discovering Solicitors fees were beyond me!
As we speak am on third amendment !
I also worked in Social Care for many years and came across families in chaos as this had not been done.

grannylyn perhaps not much use to you as I don't know how it differs in Scotland ,but I read only this week (but can't remember where) that it is being or has been made much simpler and. You had better Google as I am not sure of the changes.
