Power of attourney gives you controls over someones financial matters.
I have no idea how that extends, it is the terms of a solicitor.
Are they married?

Yes - married.

I am going to propose that I will sign over the rights to my part of the estate so long as I get the deeds to a property. I have done some rough calculations and I'd be entitled to £212K ish before tax. The property I'll request the deeds for is worth about £140K.

The basis is that Parent B and siblings are going to use the inheritance to buy a large home in Parent B's name which they will all live in. Whilst I don't benefit in any way of this other than I am being offered a third of said home when Parent B passes. None of which is guaranteed.

I don't see why they should all benefit from this awful experience living mortgage free in a large home in an affluent area whilst I have to scrape by living separately.

What worries me is the whole power of attorney / legal guardian thing.

I won't be signing anything without a lawyer. I won't have time tomorrow but I'll try and get one in place over the next week.
 
do not agree to this, and take the estimated £125K that you are entitled to, and no parent B cannot change a will, and cannot advise a person who is already judged to be incapable of running their finances on how to word any will.

I suspect they have a panic on, as there is probably a will from before the power of attorney, which would have course be 100% valid, and highly unlikely to be contested on advise of a lawyer.

sign nothing, do nothing, and speak to a lawyer before doing anything else, and ignore any imposed time limits, this is itself would be a reason to contest any will.
