28 Dealing with Someone Else's Affairs1 Introduction You may find that you have to help someone to deal with their affairs - perhaps an older or disabled relative or someone you care for.

When can I have access to someone's bank accounts? 7. What if there is no enduring power of attorney? 9. What if a person recovers their mental capacity? 10.
