Make not keeping receipts/basic accounts when you hold an LPA a criminal offence

Petition Details

Now, if you're entrusted with a vulnerable persons finances, a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) it is only suggested that you keep receipts/records/basic accounts to explain any purchases made. It should be a legal requirement to produce this if requested to help safeguard our vulnerable loved ones.

Additional Information

I lost my father, Richard Nelson Scott, on 17/5/16. No one thinks that a family member will steal from their vulnerable, ill loved one but it happened to us. It's happening more now with our ageing population. Some get away with it by having an LPA. By amending current guidelines the LPA holder will have to produce records if a concerned person wants an investigation of financial affairs.
