    It wasn't taken lightly. I had been managing Mum and Dad's finances for some years. There was no possibility of hidden debts. There were a couple of small overpayments from the DWP which were dealt with quickly but nothing else.

    With almost all their money in joint accounts, it automatically became Dad's money anyway.
    Noted. You should be OK then. For the benefit of watchers money in joint accounts does not automatically pass to the survivor. It depends on the exact circumstances.
