Bear with me on this please. I have an uncle in a care home to whom I have lasting power of attorney, he's ok mentally but not really able to write anymore. anyway he's a very charitable old fella & regularly gives dosh away to all kinds of charidees, last week when I was there he asked me to write out 3 cheques, one to Ycare International, one to the RNLI & another to the son of a careworker at the home. ('breaking the rules', his words.) This cheque was for 2K. Now one way or another this worker has mentioned that her son has 'fallen on hard times' (who Uncle has never met)& has written down her sons address.
I reckon I should have a word with this worker before I speak to the home manager in case there's some 'innocence' involved. (not convinced about that as why would she write his address?)
What are the collective's views?
i have already anticipated, 'write a cheque out to me' etc.
