Re: Signing cheques
my sister went to Santander with mum as both need to sign and that was it, mum was almost blind so it was necessary so that my sister could do her shopping and check her statements, they were issued with 2 cards, sometimes I'd use one when taking mum out, it's really easy to apply Mupsand has nothing to do with your own accounts

Re: Signing cheques
My F.I.L. Had Parkinsons ,and could not sign or get about ,so his son had a joint account ,so he could pay bills and buy his shopping in ,a card was supplied as well .Made life easier for the short term but ,we decided P.O.A , might be a good thing ,cost over £600 ,we didnt need to use it as F.I.L. Died a year later and then it became invalid ,but the joint account meant F.i.l.bills were settled and funeral cost came out of it .This was what he had wanted.so we had no expenses ourselves.14-06-2014, 11:42 PM

You can ask for a form fora joint account to be sent to your mother , as long as she is capable to sign it .

A friend of mine did this when her mum was ill - she was with HSBC.
