My mother has an aggressive form of dementia and has been sectioned. We have applied for power of attorney but are still months away from it being granted. She pays her house insurance by direct debit to Lloyds. Because the house was empty, we told the bank because the policy says the house must not be empty for more than 30 days.

The current version of health care reform legislation is so roiled in controversy that it’s not clear it will be passed any time soon.
