Power Of Attorney

After more than 10 years of service and at the age of 53, Geoffrey is made redundant from work. Unfortunately, his wife, Annabel, has just had an argument with her boss and quit her job. With financial toubles looming, Annabel sees a way out after she visits her slightly dotty aunt in hospital who has broken a hip and has gone in to have an operation.

While in Beattie's flat to get some bits and pieces (nighties, toothbrush, etc.) to bring to her aunt in hospital, Annabel comes across Beattie's bank statement and list of investments that were lying on her desk. It seems Aunt Beattie has £3,000 in her current account, £14,000 on deposit, £750,000 in securities, and her flat is worth £100,000. Since Annabel is her heir, and they are in need of money, the Campions decide to take Aunt Beattie in to convalesce where they will try to find a way to get her to sign a power of attorney over to them so they could have access to her money.
