Just heard again from Jacki Matin is coming along better than expected..... But the family have had the police in and all Martins guns have been taken .....the excuse is so social services can go into the house and work with Chris..

Martin was the only one who new where the keys were so look like the police have broken into his gun cabinet.. from what i recall he only had one shotgun the rest were air rifles so if he does recover will he get them back don't think so ..

As Jacki does not get on with the sisters she does not even know if they got a receipt and list of things taken...Martin is really going to get peed of when he gets home ..

Social services said they are OK to sell Martins things as they have his best interests at heart....not so sure about that ??

Not sure about that, surely a power of attorney needs to be in place. Especially as he’s improving he may well have capacity so they have no right to sell his stuff, no matter if their intentions are well meaning or not.

If martin agrees to gift them to me I'll store them for him until he decides what he wants / needs to do with them .. he knows where I live as he's been here numerous times 

Mike see jackie about that I certainly don't mind putting them in my cabinets for as long is needed

Appreciate that we don't have the full facts, but I would have some concern if the sisters are "acting in Martin's best interests" and selling off his gear that may well include  any gift of an expensive iPad or the like.  If they have appointed themselves to act on his behalf they may well value a bit of cash a bit more highly.

Hawkeye, worth tying up with Jackie to make sure that whatever is gifted to Martin is suitably protected from grasping hands, however that might be managed.

Agree this needs to be looked at. 

It is possible that Martin had already had a POA drawn up (just in case)  and his family have triggered it due to his stroke.

However he should be able to tell them to "back off" if he is deemed fit to run his own affairs after his return home. 

He may need independent legal advice to ensure his rights are looked after.

Ask them for a copy of their mental capacity assessment and the Best interest decision making process that they followed ... 

 

I imagine the Police taking them into their possession at the moment is legal, I doubt they have sold or destroyed them (yet). 
 

 

What is the update on LG, both physically and cognition wise? 
 

Might be a permanent NH placement 😞

Cheers Pete but the police have them now don't think Jacki can do anything about it as the sisters will not let her even visit Martin.

so don't know how she can get them back and as you well know most of his guns were air rifles think he only had one shotgun..

Funny that was just talking to one of the lads about this any ideas how we can make sure any iPad or what ever we get cannot be taken away from him..

Jackie is having trouble with the sisters they block every thing she tries to do for Martin even to asking the hospital not to let her visit...

I don’t know Mike, if they are even trying to deny Jacki seeing Martin then how do we even get any gift to him.

Can you visit him in hospital?  I don’t know if you’re local to him or not, sorry.

Maybe one of our legal professionals could advise if some sort of deed could be drawn up saying that the iPad is gifted for exclusive use of Martin and cannot be sold without the consent of whoever, but what is to say they would even give the device to him.  How worthwhile that might be is also a question.

It’s a tragic situation all round.

In truth if the sisters are actually genuinely working in his and Chris’ best interest then if my part of the donation was used by them i would be happy anyway.  I just hate the idea of something being done for Martin that he never gets the benefit of.
