Helping mum with money

The LPA is a protection for the OP. As the OP's Mum may not have capacity to manage this inheritance, she may also forget that she agreed to work in a particular way and may get help to sue the OP. The OP needs the protection of the LPA.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0
