Our mother lived the last years before her death in a nursing home. Since they needed a lot of care, she got a helplessness allowance. Must we pay this compensation out of the estate of the mother?

no. The helplessness allowance is a benefit for pensioners who are dependent in activities of daily Living, such as when getting Up, Sit or eat to help. The compensation is not dependent on income and assets and must not therefore be given back.
