xmas/ birthday presents

SailorSam

We are very friendly.
Are the school holidays still on ?

The Question was would it be seen as deprivation of assets if she continued to make these presents.
Not whether you feel its right or wrong.
And if it would what sort of present for Xmas and birthdays / special occasions would be considered acceptable.

My god what a friendly Bunch you lot are glad i asked the question NOT

You asked a question

On how to take money from an ederly woman who is in a care home without it looking like deprivation of capital

No matter how you dressed it up, that was what you were asking

You received the answers, quite politely I think

You don't like the answers

That's not our problem, it's yours

My Nan died years ago now Phil, but if she were still alive what i'd to receive from her is ......... a card. That's more than enough. I'd be very agree at any of my family who wanted to take her life savings.

Question was can someone continue to give birthday presents to there family.

And Phil you've been given the answer......
Yes she can give you whatever she wishes to, but there's a good chance it will be seen as deprivation of assets.

How many grandchildren does she have?

phil122

why shouldn't she be allowed to do what she likes with her money if it makes her happy to give presents. It was only something we as her family thought might get her in trouble in the future and if you would say no to my nan god help you your braver than me. she is a very strong willed person.

That's all we wanted to know. Is there an amount we could try and tell her is more acceptable and don't say nothing as she wont have that.

Did you read the link ?

Buying expensive gifts for family members will be seen as deprivation of capital


Tell grandma, that all that hard work and rainy day saving is for the rainy day that's here and now. She's in a care home. It's raining. She needs to fund it
