If she is likely to be permanently housebound it may be worth looking into getting Power of Attorney for her so that you can act on her behalf.0

We have a Starling joint account, it's very easy to setup online and link the two sole ones
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

That's the simplest solution, and is what my wife and I did when Halifax wanted us to go into a branch to put my name on her account. Starling and Monzo let you do it all in the app and it takes less then 10 minutes.Isthisforreal99 said:Apply for a new separate joint account online?0
