    If that is not wanted your dad wanted then why did his will say it was? What is best for your mum is that she keeps those funds for her own benefit, whether that is for care fees, on the odd treat for herself, or just not worrying about the cost of turning the heat up full blast when it is cold.Giving it away provides her with no benefits whatsoever.

    Everything you have said through this thread shows that you are actually trying to get your hands on your mother's money rather than to do what is best for her. Trying to lower the capital is simply an a attempt to prevent the care home fees being paid. Whatever you promised your mum , or what your dad wanted has no relevance. The reality is that however much you might want to care for her at home this my become impossible. I am not being disrespectful just pointing out the hard facts.
