Back in 2011, my late sister told me that she was going to look after an aunt who had terminal cancer. At that time, my sister was supposed to be caring for my dad (he didn't really need that much caring, but he was 80, so I found it strange that my sister should be doing this. As a bit of background information, my sister had worked as a live in carer, getting jobs through agencies. She had never had a relationship and had never moved away from home.
My sister phoned me when she was looking after aunt and told me some alarming things. She had said to the aunt, that she look after her, as long as the aunt changed her will in my sister's favour, which she did. The will had previously been left in favour of my aunt's late husband's brother. My sister then said that my aunt was "complaining" about being in pain all the time, so my sister told her that she could take as many painkillers as possible. She did this and overdosed, not fatally but enough to warrant a few days in hospital. My aunt then passed away a few weeks later.
My sister passed away in 2022, which set in place a very strange set of events.
My father had dementia as early as 2014 and by 2020, he could not recognise me or speak to me on the phone. I have his medical records which clearly state that he had advanced dementia in June 2020.
I found out that his will and LPA were changed in late 2021, where it clearly states - Lacks capacity to give consent (Mental capacity act 2005). Not for resuscitation.
I want to find out more about my late aunt, but I don't have much to go on. I know that she lived in a parkhome/static caravan and I know the rough location. I want to know when and how the will was changed and how it was witnessed.
The up to date stuff is being dealt with and this could be just further proof that a lot of coercion was being used in these will changes.
