“In view of my mother’s current modest financial situation I do not believe the application made by my sisters to be appointed her deputies has been made with respect to her best interests but has been made maliciously and with the intention, based on sibling disagreements, of continuing to exclude me from participation in my mother’s affairs. Requests by myself to be included in matters directly related to my mother have been ignored by both applicants and they continue to refuse to communicate with me. Recently, among other things, they have denied me access to and have undertaken the clearance of the contents and personal effects from my mother’s previous home whilst refusing to advise me of how and where these items (some of sentimental value) have been disposed of. I do not believe that my mother would have either wished for or approved of these actions. I also do not consider DG an appropriate person to manage my mother’s financial affairs because of her past inability to manage her own personal finances which have resulted in her running up several thousand pounds of debt. I also understand that social services have recently found it necessary to advise her in respect of her incorrect handling of one or two matters relating to our mother’s finances. With these points in mind and no possibility of any sibling agreements being achieved in the future on matters concerning our mother I feel it would be in her long term interests if the court were to appoint an independent panel deputy to administer her affairs forthwith.”
