Dec 14, 2021 Report

When my father needed to gain power of attorney over my mother's funds (due to Alzheimer's) he was recommended Zac and his "team" and decided to use them. My dad was to have power of attorney with me as a co-signatory, however, what came back from the courts was Court of Protection in my name with my dad as co-signatory. In the time this process took, my dad was struck with dementia and is also in a home. I'm now unable to pay the bill (from my mother's funds) because my dad can't sign his name, and even though it was my father that hired Tierney's, it looks as if I'm going to have action taken
