LPA financial

[Wales2909]

My Great Aunt is in a dementia home.
I am the only living relative
I am responsible for her health needs and decisions.
there is an LPA in place for finance.
A neighbour hold a key to her property.

MY QUESTIONs....
1: can I take the key and enter her property.
2: when she passes, the LPA ends as I understand it?
3: can the solicitors remove her property or take items?

1: can I take the key and enter her property.

Why would you want to?

2: when she passes, the LPA ends as I understand it?

Why would she pass?

3: can the solicitors remove her property or take items?

Why would solicitors even consider removing her property or take items?

[des8]

You are responsible for decisions about your Gt aunt's health & welfare because you hold that LPA?
Who holds the Finance and property LPA?

Is there a will in place?
If so who in it is named as executor?

[Wales2909]

1: to make sure the property is secure, items are catalogued and kept safe rubbish removed fridge emptied and items she wants taken too her.

2: she has dementia and has been placed in a home with no prospect of returning to her own home.

3: because the solicitors holds the LPA fir finance.

What a ridiculous set of counter questions EnglandPI

*********

The solicitors hold the finance LPA I have the care.
There is a will, the solicitor is the executor.

For example, do I need permission from the solicitors to take her the TV and did player for example. Or books she likes or pictures fir her walls etc family photographs and albums are there along with my great grandmother's items.

[EnglandPi]

Yes you need permission from the solicitors

[ostell]

If she is asking for something from the house then no reason not to. No LPA needed

Just keep a record

[des8]

It must be remembered that at all times the holder of an LPA must act in the interest of the donor.

An LPA for finance in property: property will be as defined in law of Property Act 1925 i.e. "“Property” includes any thing in action, and any interest in real or personal property;"

So yes, you will need their permission to take your great aunt's property from her house and deliver it to her.
Do you anticipate any problems over this?

After she has passed the executor needs to secure all the estate assets and value them prior to obtaining a grant of probate.
The estate then needs to be distributed as per the will.

Why not chat with the solicitor to ensure you are both acting in her best interest
