3rd party mandate

Hi all,

my mum is "getting on a bit" and needs someone to help her with her bank accounts etc. Until now I have been looking after this, but I seem to be spending more and more time working abroad. My sister is willing to do it now.

What is the correct thing to do now? I know we need to complete a another 3rd party mandate, but do I need to have me removed or can more than one person do this?

    As someone who processes such forms, most banks will allow you to have more than one third party/POA on an account. More likely with the high street banks.
