My.siblling had just been granted deputyship over my mother's affairs. However,.I have just discovered she is registered with The Insolvency Service on as being applied for voluntary insolvency dating back to 2020.
Please advise me on the legality of this and how could someone be granted deputyship by the Court in financial difficulty or would this have not been declared.
Thanks

And this question would not be there on the form if it was not pertinent to the application.0

To add to this issue my sibling has not shared her responsibilities of her deputyship with me. I have been told by a third party.0

So what outcome are you expecting with your insolvency query? Are you still trying to get the deputyship changed because you’re not involved?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
