You manage your mother's or father's money under a power of attorney or as a carer? The cash book records every income and spending with its receipt and lays out the account like the courts' form.

Step by step

  1. Open “Manage for a relative” and add a case: name, basis and since when.Do not enter the reason for the representation or health details
  2. Add every account of the person, including the cash box for cash in your hands, each with its opening balance.The first time, the balance from the asset inventory
  3. Each month, import the statement from online banking (camt.053, MT940 or CSV) and upload the statement PDF.The reconciliation shows whether cash book and bank agree
  4. Answer “What was it for?” for every entry and add the receipt.“Transfer” alone is not enough; say what the money was for
  5. Close the year under “Close & export” and download the account, the asset overview or the receipt package.After that, corrections go through a reversal
  6. The first case starts a free trial without payment details. After that each case needs its own cash book pass for twelve months, bought under Settings → Billing → Cash book pass.30 days for every case; the order page shows the price

The result: An orderly list per account with opening balance, income, spending and closing balance, with all receipts and statements, for the court or later for the heirs.

Important: ImmoDok does not check whether a payment was allowed or needs the court's approval. Your court may set its own requirements. The bank statements and receipts always belong with it.

What if it does not work?

The file from online banking is not recognised.
Download the statement from online banking as camt.053 (XML), MT940 or CSV with column headers.
I found a mistake in a closed year.
Open the entry and choose “Reverse”. The reversal is booked in an open year and points at the entry.
I cannot add anything; the page says “No pass: read only”.
The trial or the pass of this case has ended. Everything stays readable, and the account, asset overview, receipt package and CSV can still be created and downloaded; deleting works too. For new entries, statements and receipts, buy the pass for this case.
Does one pass cover my mother and my father together?
No. A cash book pass covers one represented person. For the second case you buy a second pass; the overview shows for each case until when it is covered.
