Family Care Agreement Guide
Summary
A Family Care Agreement can outline financial contributions, living arrangements, and caregiving responsibilities. Money paid for a home extension can be considered a gift if documented properly. If your mothers estate is below the inheritance tax threshold, the gift may not be included in the estate for tax purposes. Proper documentation, such as a Gift Deed and witness signatures, can support this. Consider consulting a legal professional for personalized advice.Full Conversation
