People need to be aware of this - a man presenting as a solicitor (though employed by a law firm, not qualified as such) holding LPA's for scores of vulnerable elderly people.

It’s been a programme on BBC R4. All last week, still available on BBC sounds.
It would appear that care home workers were also involved.

He sold one elderly ladies house while she was in a care home. R4.

I have been following this sad tale and warning everyone I know to pass it on.

The law firm are doubling down and engaging a PR company.

This firm is very local to me. In fact DH and I were going in to rewrite our wills with them.

They have a large sign on their door now, appointments only instead of their normal we are open all welcome

I guess they will be gone by the New Year…
