I'm looking for a bank or building society that will open an account for people who are too disabled to handle their own financial affairs.
I am often in touch with appointees who are looking for an account:
* in the disabled person's name, but which the appointee can operate (if the account is in the appointee's name the money is legally theirs, which can cause problems)
* which can accept direct payments of benefits
* which offers an ATM card
* which will allow standing orders or direct debit
Does anyone know of a financial institution that will offer all or most of the above?
