Hiya Angie, I'm going to move your post to general discussion.

hi Angie

I think that because you have indicated (in a previous post) that you can no longer cope with looking after your Mother you will find that Social Services have a duty of care to ensure that she is safe in her own home and that this is the reason for their still visiting.

Hi Sisieq Yes this is true they call for there duty of care reason but my mum can fall anytime by them calling won't prevent her from falling apparently they call all the time & mum won't let them in???

Perhaps then you should ask for a meeting with the Social Workers to fully explain the situation regarding your Mum and to ask them what their intentions are and what the next step is ?

If you don't feel confident about talking with them, take a friend with you to the meeting, write out a list of the problems and how you feel about the situation - they might suggest fitting a key pad so that they can let themselves in when they call to check on her.

I'm not really qualified to answer your question regarding your Mum changing her will - I would suggest that you speak to a solicitor or Citizens Advice Bureau who should be able to give you the advice you seek.

A social worker is for life,not just for Christmas.Point being,once met,hard to shake-off.Your stuck with em.Im too bothered to write more on this one,the very thought of em annoys me,I feel a whole new thread coming-on.
