There is some history of gifting in the past . to the kids and grandkids, all before the Covid season .
Also My Mums will ( step mum actually) leaves all her estate which is basically a proportion of the moneys in the joint accounts to her 3 Children
so cannot see how an opinion of a Council can overrule a Last Will and testament? .
I have already discussed with My step mums Kids ( all adults
and the oldest son as well as myself are executors of the will )

Has your dad been assessed for CHC?
