Access To Father's Accounts with LPOA
I think my issue may be a rare one, but I can't believe I'll be alone. A couple of years ago we lost my Mum.

He has a savings and current…

Last time I had a santander account was back in 2015, I beleive it was a credit card, but it may have come with a current account.
