PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING:
Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.
Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Mum has had all her ID taken

What kind of legal professional would draft such a letter? As I said, he doesn't respond, so it would need a process server or similar to actually put the letter in his hand.

No they didn't give a reason. An officer from a local force rang and told me — he had only been involved as a local officer to do a visit to my Mum as the other force was too far away.

If mum has capacity to do so, she can cancel the current LPA. She should appoint a solicitor to do that.
It’s quite straightforward provided she has capacity, and the solicitor will assess that, getting medical advice if he thinks there’s any need. Someone with early stage dementia may well have capacity. The bar is not set too high.It’s almost certainly vastly cheaper to get replacement documents than to get into a fight to retrieve the original ones.
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?1
