Since then they have been trying to get clarification of their options but they would only discuss it with my mum who only came out of hospital yesterday. I managed to speak to them in my mums presence so she could confirm security details.

Unless you have power of attorney, they're absolutely right in doing that.

GET POWER OF ATTORNEY. This will be the least of your problems.

you can try for power of attorney but the individual must be competent at that point and agree to it, which may not be achievable.

And if she isn't competent, then the shared phone call where she "confirmed her identity" would be seriously naughty.

If the individual is not competent then the next step is the Court of Protections, which is best avoided if at all possible.

yes, very true, but you can't get get poa if they are competent but won't agree to appointing a poa.

not really, so long as it wasn't against their interest.
