Joyce and Robert are in their early seventies. Joyce has recently been diagnosed with a first stage of senile dementia, but still has her ‘good days’. They have not kept their wills up to date and have heard from friends that a ‘Power of Attorney’ might be advisable to enable Robert or their daughter Claire to assist Joyce with her financial affairs.
