Thanks everyone for your replies.

Dear all Am just after a bit if help and advice. My mother has been diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimers, and my sister (who lives in the UK) and myself (who does not) would like to set up power of attorney for us both to be able to help manage their funds/pay bills etc. I have been to the following web site https://www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en/articles/setting-up-a-power-of-attorney#what-is-a-power-of-attorney but I guess my question is that as my father is still capable - can he sign the form on my mums behalf? I have yet to check but if the bank accounts and corresponding bills are all in my mothers name, how do I get her to sign/approve the forms? Many thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

and what about white goods? Are the big chains really the best place to go?

I was told that because the voltage is the same everything would be ok with an adapter. However after my dishwasher melted the plug socket, I was advised that the wattage is different so I should have bought a new dishwasher. Now I'm unsure.
