RE: Funeral payment and estate

others might disagree, but there may be some difficulty in showing it was joint money.
the best you cuold hope for was to show that part of the joint pension credit claim was joint money and thus part was hers, but not sure if that would work, really ....unless you could perhaps show she had nowt to live on whilst he was in hospital and unable to access his account? and thus that any debts consequentailly accrued are estate debts? clutching at a few straws here.....
the claim was presumably that of the husband and she included as his spouse, so the money went into his account as it was his ....
that's all imho, i may well be wrong but a feeling i'm not.
