Please can anyone offer advice over an Enduring Power of Attorney? About five years ago my husband had one drawn up with his two sons and me as attorneys, but it was not registered. He is no longer able to manage his own affairs or understand finances. When I asked a solicitor recently how much it would cost to register, the sum involved seemed rather large. I am wondering if such a document is worth the expense in view of the fact that our day to day expenses are met by my husband's pension which is paid into our joint account, and there is no pressing need for me to make other decisions at the moment. Thank you in advance for any help!
Hi Thel
It is worth registering as you never know when you might need it - and the registration process can take some weeks. You can register it without a Solicitor and then you would save the Solicitor's fees. The actual registration fee is about £120.
