Hi all. My Mother has an interim order on her accounts until the final papers for deputyship are issued from the Court of Protection.

Me and another family member can withdraw £250 a week from my Mother’s account. We do this for shopping, repairs, cleaners etc.

I had to find a roofer for my Mother’s property quickly as she had a leak in her room and bathroom. A roofer who couldn’t do the job recommended someone else.

I asked the roofer if he could provide me with an invoice with his company logo on it as I keep invoices as a record of what I’ve withdrawn from the account. He said that would be fine.

The roofer did the job and charged me £100 which I thought was reasonable. However, it turns out he doesn’t have a computer and the invoice just has his name printed on it and he has handwritten the details. I am not sure he even has his own company. Should I still go ahead and claim back the money or could this be queried?

I would go ahead and claim. The main thing is that the heading of the invoice is printed.
