Love my solarismax, great uphill and rips downhill loving the techy stuff.

This is it in action up near Cape Wrath

Thanks all. Really appreciate the support and advice.

He was formally diagnosed with mixed dementia a few years ago now. He definitely didn’t ‘enjoy’ the affects of some of these drugs so I can sympathise why he might stop them.

OP here. Minor point, and not really relevant, but he is my elder brother, not dad.

The inheritance which will be considerable will not come my way, but to his son and the new wife.

My belief on capacity needs more reading. But I think social services is certainly needed. But the idea of kicking that off really scares me.

Is it possible that he has made a calculated decision about quality of life vs side effects of his dementia meds?

Yes, that is clearly possible, although I find his denial of ever having dementia contractory to that.

I refer to my username!

OP here. The LPoA were both set up about 2 years ago so on the new system.

Neither have been invoked.

Marriage definitely nullifies wills, but I believe PoA and LPAs carry on.

Reading up on the OPG I am not sure I want to contact them. If I understand it correctly the donor has to grant permission for the info to be released, which is perfectly correct but I don’t want to alert his wife to it’s existence if she is unaware.

If my beliefs are correct she will then work to get it superceded or revoked.

Is that a daft reason?

Apologies for the incorrect terminology.

We are all in e&w. I and his son were created as attornies for both health and wealth. This was all before he met and married last year.

I am terrified of all the consequences of what could happen but I do feel it is necessary. He still has IMO mental capacity, he just can’t remember anything recent. He is, I think, happy at the moment, whether misguided or not, that makes it very difficult for me.

Thanks all.

@kormoran ‘UK rivers’!

You’ll have to help me there. I’m struggling to get past the obvious

Thx all,

As someone above said my main concern is for the future provision of his son.

Yes there is a current will and I have suggested already that both he and her update them as they both have children and my understanding is that it needs updating post marriage.

PoA. My understanding is also that this is of no use at this time as he is perfectly capable of decision making.

Not met her yet and his son has only met her once.

I am talking but skirting around the subject of honey traps.

To quote him ‘I have never been so sure of myself in my life’. Other worrying thing, on her advice he has given up all meds including statins for high cholesterol.

Ahhh, will try and edit the formatting
