Re: power of attorney
It would seem that in 2005 your aunt granted you an enduring power of attorney. This will not come into effect until such time as your aunt loses her mental faculties and is unable to deal with her affairs.I presume that that time has now come and if so the enduring power of attorney must be registered.
Our web site at www.legal-zone.co.uk contains information and instructions on how this can be done. Might I suggest that you read our power of attorney DIY ' kit 'and then come back to ask if you have any further questions or difficulties.
