Selling after lost capacity

Not disputing your situation just pointing out you only need one person that can act as certificate provider and witness(only one needed).

Thank you.
As stated when you are housebound and don't see anyone (apart from family who don't qualify) that can be difficult, so it can take time to arrange. The current holdup (for objections) is absolutely nothing to do with us, it's simply part of the process.

There is no urgency for POA as the very same people (son and daughter) are making the treament decisions anyway.

I want to start deputyship as that could hold up the sale of the house but I have to be sensitive to the fact that my FIL could be dying so there are sensitivities to consider also. I cannot barge around asking people why they are taking so long to fill out a form. My SIL's priorities will be visiting FIL in hospital and MIL in nursing home.

Grandchildren (adult) are helping with visits but the grandaughter has difficulties as she has a baby so can't go out if her husband is away. We do not live in the area so can't help on weekdays so SIL take the brunt of daily visits.
All of us have work responsibilities.
Sometimes form filling has to take a back seat to work, health or other urgent issues.

Update: FIL is stable with no acute conditions so diagnosis so far is old age. Not expected to decline so we are going on holiday.

I have advised DH to start sorting out deputyship (probably won’t happen until after holiday) and told him to insist on continuing healthcare assessment before discharge if going to nursing home. Will has 2 witnesses (now deceased). Both witnesses ran businesses so this leads me to believe they’ve drawn up the will properly.

Thanks for the discussion.
