Anyone know how I go about getting one? My mother was too far mentally gone for me to get POA, and so I had to get an intervention order from the court to allow me to let out her bungalow to get income to finance her care home.
The court insisted on a Sealed Bond for £150K (value of bungalow) for which I have to pay the princely sum of £375 a year. Now this may not sound a lot, but I'm having to finance this from my mother's income which without any rent is c£550 a month, of which c£500 goes straight to the council towards fees.
My current Sealed Bond is with RSA (whom the solicitor went with when I first had the intervention order) and I've just thrown a wobbly at them for offering monthly premiums (which would ease my financial pressures) yet when you ask for them declining to do them on teh grounds they don't issue receipts (!). I'm taking that up with their customer relations, but in the meantime would like to try and source an alternative provider.
Just Googled Sealed Bonds and got nothing helpful - hence the call to the bastion of all knowledge - PH.
