Power of Attorney

[Diottica]

Anyone manage an account with Power of Attorney?

When IG can cope I want to open a sharedealing/ISA account for my elderly father (I'm already an account holder) .  He has granted a general Power of Attorney for me to act on his behalf in all financial matters - willl a copy suffice or does IG insist on obtaining their specific form (available as a download)?

Hey, 

Sorry for the inconvenience but we do have to have our Power of Attorney form filled out. You can find them by following the link below:

All the best,

Thanks Charlotte.

 

A pain but will do.  I assume section 6* (see below) is not intended to prevent me transferring money in/out of the IG accounts and my fathers bank account?
