Also of note - if FiL's own home now empty you may be able to get exemption on the council tax? That can be backdated, as can attendance allowance.

What happens if someone becomes so mentally ill that they are not considered fit by a GP/Solicitor to know what they are doing in signing a consent for POA and are not capable of running their own financial affairs?

It's an old question I know but doesn't look to have been answered.

In this case application is made to the Court of Protection to appoint a Deputy to run the person's affairs. It's a long and complicated process. Making an LPoA whilst still capable is by far preferable.
