When a parent is affected by dementia, it is not uncommon for them to need assistance with various household chores. Simple things like shopping for food, paying bills and retrieving medicine can be difficult.
But there is an important limit that must be known as a relative, and it is related to Mobile BankID.
In News Morning, the family law lawyer tells Caroline Törnquist About family authority: The ability to pay bills and other things that belong to daily life for someone else.
But the cases must be performed physically – not online.

The call: Go to your bank

– Go to your bank, bring with you any of your children or your close relative that you have confidence in, she says in News Morning and continues:
