Many thanks for all the advice. We managed to obtain the 'procuration' from his bank thanks to a very helpful lady at the local Credit Agricole. A couple of signatures was all it took and in less than half an hour the authority was in place. Thanks again

I've been asked to have authority over my father's account at his local bank. Is this easy to organise? He is a French resident having lived there for over 20 years but now in his mid 80's he has health issues. In future it may be necessary for me to pay any medical bills on his behalf. Any guidance on the process woul be most appreciated as I will be over in France in the next few days.
