    My Dad printed off the LPA forms and we got them sorted and had a friend be the witness etc so I didn’t have to bring anything up as he did! :) .I’d just be practical about it and say let’s get this sorted while we are all fit and healthy and this is a way of ensuring its easier in the future and we don’t waste time and money then
    That can be a good move - compare the price of doing it now and the time and money needed to get deputyship from the Court of Protection.
    Add to that - until the deputies are confirmed, decisions about the person's welfare will be made by authorities who don't know them.
