My husband has POA for his mother...recently "awarded". What records are we required to keep given that she is my husband's business partner in a farm so her pension and attendance allowance are paid directly into the business which keeps the roof over her head, the heating and electric etc going? We do not live there but I do all the shopping, cook her meals, do her washing etc
paying for food etc from my account. I do all the farm accounts and obviously have no desire to duplicate anything I already do. Is it enough to keep receipts highlighting stuff specifically for her own use and showing a 3 way split for food plus noting the amount paid for electric, heating, phone, insurance monthly in a book? I teach, help out on the farm, sort out prescriptions and take her to her many appointments as well keeping up with the farm accounts, doing all the washing, cooking, shopping etc so the thought of more very detailed accounts is sending me into a flat spin and my already high blood pressure heavenwards... Any advice gratefully received.
