It is as easy as paying £82 and doing it online.
No need for a solicitor; you can't go wrong (and if you do, they'll send the form back... or rather, the internet will likely bounce it before you reach the printing point).
Where it's non contentious, i.e. you don't have three siblings who are going to argue over her treatement then theoretically you don't need a POA.
HOWEVER, the numpties in the various arms of the state - social services, hospitals etc. - don't understand this. They know of the theory of the existence of a form and therefore demand it.
This caused me no end of problem with my mother - the GP having (correctly) advised there was no point in it.
GET ONE.
