    Yes I know but we didn't use a solicitor to do the P of A - there's no need to, it is easy to do it yourself (we have Enduring - drawn up a long while before we needed to use it). So we need to employ a solicitor to do certified copies or buy extras at £25 each!
    Your own bank will probably do them for nothing at the enquiries desk, mine (Lloyds) always does. Just always make sure the original never leaves your sight, as it's completely irreplaceable!

    Not when they are backdated (probably illegal)

    But hey, anyone got the paperwork?
    Not probably, definitely! Maybe it wouldn't be obvious from the paperwork but, if it came to the crunch, the witness would have to give the game away or perjure himself.

    I think the witness has passed away now.
