Re: Anybody from Wales?

I wanted my children to have POA when my husband became ill in 2006, in order to stop me screwing up too badly. He had always been in charge of our business affairs, and to be frank I haven't got a clue! It was easier to get POA then. Our solicitor very kindly didn't even charge us for drawing up the papers. He had known us for well over 30 years, and wanted to do us this favour before he retired.
