We're in the early stages of working out my deceased MiL's estate. She very kindly paid my oldest child's accommodation fees at university, and some of that time falls within seven years of her death. I've read the brief guides to gift giving, but I can't work out whether this falls under 'regular payments' or needs to be counted as a sequence of gifts. The examples I've seen are for school fees rather than accommodation.
She had an excellent pension and wasn't dipping into savings to do this. Not sure if that makes a difference?
If anyone could point me at where to look or who to ask, that would be much appreciated.
Actually finding the records of her paying it will be the next challenge...
