Hello all,
My mum has severe dementia and is in a nursing home. I'm her son and dealing with her financial affairs. Unfortunately my father passed away recently and we need to sort out paying for the funeral costs.
Does anyone know whether those costs can be paid from my mother's (relatively small) assets, or do they need to be paid from my father's estate?
I'm concerned that if we paid them from my mother's savings, that would be regarded as deprivation of assets.
Thank you
Mike
