In August 2023 I contacted a local solicitor to set up my attorneys for both Property and financial affairs and Health and welfare. Health and welfare was registered and a copy sent to me. Nothing was heard re Property and financial affairs so this afternoon having waited over 6 months I decided to contact the solicitor to see if she had any update on the situation. Spoke to her secretary who informed me that they had received the registered copy at the same time as the Health and Welfare details (I received a copy of Health and welfare back in early January) but they preferred to keep the Property and financial affairs copy in their strong room until it was actually needed, it could then be released to my two attorneys!! At no time was I informed of this, either in a letter or phone call. I have now said I want a copy that I can keep in my safe for when it is needed. Also I am not prepared to pay £35.00 for a copy! Having paid close to £900.00 to set this up I feel entitled to a "free copy". For security reasons they would prefer me to collect the copy rather than posting it to me.
Sorry for the "rant" just needed to get it off my chest. Very disappointed in this solicitors firm - advised to use them as to quote "they are the best in the area" - wish I had done it by myself on line.
