can my mother give a gift when in a care home
My Mum has been in a nursing home for 2-1/2yrs, I have LPA. She started with a bank balance of >£140000. It is now approx. <£88,000.
She has never given financial gifts during this time. She used to give £100 & Xmas to my brother & I & our wives'. £50 to each of her 5 grandchildren & £25 to her great grandchildren now currently totalling 10.
Does anyone know what would be acceptable now ?
