Hi. Yes, I'm aware I will need to show where any money has been spent, but none has been other than care home fees from the savings account and fees to do with selling the house. I haven't yet submitted the forms to ask for any money and £1000 is such a small amount in the scheme of things and money she would want to give for her grand-daughter to have the dental treatment she needs. I very much get the feeling that some of the people on here disapprove of me asking about this subject because my mother has a lot of money but I wouldn't do anything that's not legal.
I stand corrected I thought you had already submitted the forms.
I for one don't disapprove of you asking about this subject. I am replying solely on your requests for advice. As none of us have legal experience (even if we did we are not allowed to submit posts indicating that we are) I would take advice from the OPG as previously stated. I would also request that if they do agree to you taking the action that you want to, to put it in writing. That way you are covered when the annual audit is taken.
