Hi guys,
I wonder if you can me?
My trust deed just became protected a few months ago, and I've started thinking about my first financial review. I'm a born worrier and I'm now in a panic over the way my finances will be viewed when submitting bank statements.
My partner and I split the rent and bills. I pay them from my account monthly, and she transfers her half to my account. Would this be viewed poorly when reviewing my finances? I know that from my Trust Deed I'm not supposed to receive a sum of more than £500, however as this is a monthly transfer from my partner and it's specifically for the rent and bills, I assumed it would be ok?
Please tell me I've not made a mistake 🙁
Thanks

Hello needhelp80 and welcome to the forum.
I very much doubt you'll have anything to worry about. It's understood that couples will move money between them to manage joint bills.
Provided that the sums involved are consistent with the expenses information given to your trustee in the past, I see no reason for them to take any issue with this at all.

By the way... when I first read your post I misread the title as being "shared private jet"!
That would have been an unusual and interesting expenditure allowances subject to discuss here!!

Thank you so much for getting back to me. I thought as much, but I didn't want to take anything for granted, especially as I just started getting things under control. The sums transferred always equal exactly half of the bills every month, so there shouldn't be any discrepancy. Thanks again.
P.S I think the private jet is still a little way off, Easyjet is more likely 😉

I'm glad that I could offer some reassurance needhelp80. I'm sure everything will be fine.
I haven't got around to ordering my private jet yet either!
