Does anyone have an experience in using Money Carers as an appointee for a relative? Currently considering and would welcome any feedback.

Many thanks in advance

I’ve never heard of that. I am appointee for my son.

That would be ideal but unfortunately I don't live in the UK which makes it hard.

I have also been trying to find out about appointee services and would be interested to hear from anyone who has used them.

No sorry, but I'd also be interested, I'm having conflict over money budgeting with my autistic son, would love someone to take over the responsibility, as it is really frustrating as he has limited understanding.

not heard of money carers. i have power of attorney for my sons finances and affairs as he cannot understand these matters. we went to a solicitor and he sent forms to the office of the public guardian (UK residents).

Where are you based?
