My gran recently passed away. She had colorectal cancer and my uncle took her in and cared for her.
At this point she had £2000 in savings. Now that she has passed away my uncle says that she has no money and that the family must pay for her funeral.
My dad seems to think that he has somehow ripped off his late mother. He claims that my uncle received £60 per month or week (not sure which) carers allowance while she received a pension and some additional funds to help her during her battle with the cancer. He estimated the figure to be at over £200 per week (from the what I have overheard of the arguments) but I am not sure. Anyway he can't work out why my gran was penniless at her death given her income and small amount of savings previously mentioned.
He said that there was no agreement made between the family that my gran would have to give up all her income in this care arrangement. She spent a lot of time in hospital. All of the family did what they could to be there for her and if she needed anything we would ensure she didn't have to worry about it.
Any advice for possibly dissolving this situation? We have to plan the funeral next week and I don't want all this ill feeling tainting the memory of a great woman who has had an amazing impact on all our lives.
