I'm not going to get into the argument about inheritance, but I would say that I'd advise any older person to grant power of attorney to someone they trust. My mother developed Alzheimer's, and no-one had taken out PoA, so I had to apply to be her Deputy. (There are only two of her offspring left in the UK and my sister didn't want to do it.) Deputyship is a long and involved process, including having to present medical proof that the person can't manage his/her affairs, and notifying everyone who might have a legal interest, and it took ages to get everything sorted. 

 

My dad has granted me PoA so that I won't have to go through all that again if he becomes incapable.

Mr wall and others, a will is 100% needed, and my money when it comes will get my sons into self employment, My son Simon is trying to start a fencing business had his first quote two weeks ago, and Stephen is still in City College Plymouth doing plastering, he has a statement and learning difficulties so self employment is the only way.

good for you setting the kids up in business, better than just a handout ...

Been a single dad for 18 years since their mother walked out at 35 to have a child with an 18 year old, so being selfish I tend to over compensate with them and they get more than most youngsters but I am no soft touch.

That sounds like a good plan JR.

I hope your sons do well.
