No, absolutely not. The money is to be used for the benefit of the incapacitated person.
I'm actually shocked you are considering it.0 -
So peer to peer lending would be unacceptable too?0

Absolutely not ! What do you mean by peer to peer ?0 -
Its where you lend money through a company and earn interest. Its on this MME site under the savings banner.0

Peer to peer lending completely different. The lenders have made a conscious decision to enter into peer to peer lending. They have weighed up the risks.
As someone with LPA you have to act in the best interests of the relative. You taking a private loan from their account is not you acting in their best interests, it's you acting in your best interests.
You're trying to compare apples with oranges to try and justify what you're proposing.0 -
Sorry OP yes you della I agree with everyone else, dont use the relatives account.0

Thank you everybody, I have no intention of benefiting personally, the loan is not for me, I was just asking the question for advice.

Well, I can only hope you didn't attempt to screw her over in her final years.0 -
I have a LPA for a relative. Am I allowed to make a private loan from their a/c, i'ts short term and totally secure? Relative would have certainly agreed to it prior variable memory problems. I would obviously draw up an agreement and have it witnessed etc.
What reasons against this please?
1. No loan is 'totally secure'
2. Your P of A is to enable you to look after their best interests, no one else', no matter how worthy.0
