Apart from whether the law is being broken I know it is dangerous as those who have entered the car park from the right route will not...

Hi Everyone Sorry if this is a bit long but I wanted to include anything that may appear relevant to those in the know.

A friend finished renting a house in Leeds last July, and went back to France for work reasons.

Is it possible for power of attorney to be worded in such a way for the donor to lose their rights to draw on their bank account (for example)?

I did a training course recently which was quite expensive and at the end of the course I had to get accredited (registered) with the same company so that I could work and use there software systems for inputting data (this was originally going to cost extra).
