My father has two sons.I am elder son.My father is aged retired person.My father has some movable and immovable properties in his name.I am looking after him and spending all expenses incurred for him like medical,housing and other miscellaneous expenses.How to record these expenses?Is there any legal document format in which these expenses are to be recorded?Why I am asking this is because in future if any dispute arises for sharing of my father's properties between our brothers after his life time,and if the matter reaches court of law,and if I have to submit to court,the expenses incurred on my father spent by me,how the court takes into consideration,expenses spent by me?Court accepts and takes into consideration,the expenses recorded in which format?Please advise and suggest me the procedure and format to be followed by me to record expenses in court acceptable format keeping future in mind?
What are all the documents to be submitted to court of law if dispute arises in sharing of father's properties between brothers and a case is filed in court of law?
1) keep original bills of expenses incurred by you
2) for proof of expenses kacha bills are not considered
3) your father can execute conditional gift deed in your favour wherein it is provided that you shall be absolute owner of property on father demise and during his lifetime you shall maintain your father
The expenses incurred by you to maintain your father which may include his medical expenses and taking care of him to provide food and other amenities to him cannot be accounted for especially when you are fighting for your rights in the properties left behind by him.
You will not be eligible to claim extra share in your father's properties just because you took care of him during his last days.
If your father unfortunately dies without making any arrangement to his properties, then his properties shall devolve equally on all his legal heirs, nobody can claim extra share as a privilege for having taken care of the father during his last days.
1. While making division of property the expenses incurred towards maintaining father is not taking into account.
2. Consider yourself blessed that you are given an opportunity to serve your father during old days. Don't ruin it by eyeing compensation for this.
You can maintain all billing expenses as a record for future reference any distribution of property. But actually it should be treated between two brothers by mutual understanding or you can sign additional property as gift deed or WILL on your name.
No any format is prescribed by law for recording expenses on needs of father. If you are very particular, you can purchase any book having numbers on each pages and you can enter the expenses date wise referring to the date of bill/invoice/doctor’s receipt; expenses incurred towards extra nourishment, towards payment made to any attendant, travelling expenses to and from hospital and miscellaneous expenses You will be having details of doctor’s, hospital, medical shop etc. such data is sufficient to prove your claim in Court.
Dear Sir,
1) You can keep bills of his medical treatments and claim the same against his property, in case he leaves all of it to your brother.
2) You can ask your father to draft a gift deed or will to avoid any future court cases.
3) You cannot claim compensation against his property for food and essentials spent on him.
Thank you

Hello,
Submit original bills as proof of expenses incurred by you
In the event of your father's intestate death, the property left behind by him shall devolve equally on all his legal heirs.
If there is no compromise or an amicable partition among the legal heirs, then the aggrieved party can aproach court of law with a suit for partition
For filing the partition suit, you may have to produce the original documents of the property, death certificate of the original owner, legal heirship certificate in respect of the legal heirs of the deceased, identity proof of the plaintiff and any other relevant documents pertaining to the property under dispute.
Secure all the prescriptions, bills, hospital charges and keep record of your payment to them through net banking, Google pay, etc
There is no legal format you can record the same and take fathers signature and inform the same to your brother. you can also do notary for the same.
