Enduring Power of Attorney

After visiting mum at the home I went to a meeting for families that the home was running. This week the topic was about Enduring Power of Attorneys. I was fascinated with all the different questions/topics that were asked by the other families.

• One person was acting for her aunt and wanted to know what would happen if she died before the aunt - goes to court where someone is appointed by the court
• One woman was in conflict with her step daughter over the finances - her own superannuation was being taken into account as part of their assets regarding payment to the home

Certainly the thing that came through was the fact that it is so important for everyone to have an enduring power of attorney in case of all sorts of things not just dementia. I have emailed our solicitor to make an appointment to get ours done asap!!
