My mother has alzheimers and I have enduring power of attorney. She permanently lives in a care home and I want to sell her house. The solicitor has asked for verification of her identity. She has no passport or driving license so he wants a bank statement/ utility bill in her name at the care home address. She has no post at the care home - all her post comes to me. What can I provide instead? As I have enduring POA isn't it my ID he needs to verify and not mums?

sentence (if any) for dealing cannabis?

can i be evicted?

H ave you tried getting her birth certificate or baptismal papers?

No - he needs to verify both identities.

He should be satisfied with a letter from the DWP about her pension plus a letter from the care home manager verifying she lives there.

If he's not try another solicitor.
