I hope this is the right place to post this.
My grandma has given me and the rest of her grandchildren a cheque for £1000. There are 8 grandkids. She has also stated an intention to give her 6 great grandkids a cash gift in the near future.
Now, this money is going to be able to pay for redecorating my new house and also will pay for a new double pushchair for dd2 and ds and make my life so much easier but me and my dsil have been discussing it today and we've both wondered if this is ok.
My gran isn't a well woman, she has recently lost the ability to walk and her health is rapidly going down hill. She's currently in sheltered housing and we think there will be a possibility she will require more and more care over the next few months.
I know that you need money to pay for the care homes etc and that they look into finances.
Me and my siblings are concerned that by accepting this money we are setting my gran up for a difficult time receiving care, if she requires it.
Does anyone know if this is the case. Should we return the money to make life easier for my gran, no matter how offended she will likely be??
