My 93-year old father, who has just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's (but apart from being occasionally confused and forgetful, is still fairly alert and 'with it') does not have a POA and we (my sibling, me and our mother) have tried to explain to him what it is and why he should consider having one. He is (in his own words) 'very suspicious' and believes we are trying to get our hands on his money. He's made an appointment with his solicitor but is adamant that no-one else should go with him (even though he can hardly see or hear and may not understand what the solicitor is saying). We are not 'trying to get our hands on his money' - we are simply trying to avoid a future crisis, if he has to go into a care home, for example. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, do you have any advice?!
Scottish political mess. Is Devolution working?
