Morning Darren
Thanks for your reply. As far as we can ascertain everything seems to be in the name of the wife (his attorney). We have asked the SRA for guidance on this one as we haven’t come across it before and they have agreed after considering rule 2.15 and 3.3 that we can pay the attorney on the basis that she has the LPA but we need to document the facts. They also recommended that we send OPG guidance to the attorney re the requirement to keep the donor’s money separate from her own and that she might be in difficulty with the OPG if she fails to do so.
