Could some see if I have missed anything? spouse extension checklist

Hello, I am preparing to extend my wife's visa at the end of the month but wanted to query whether I would need to provide evidence for some time she spent outside of the UK this year. Her father got sick early in the year and my wife flew to Argentina on 31 Jan. She had originally planned to comeback mid-March but her father's health declined rapidly and he passed away at the end of April. She flew back to the UK mid-May. We could provide a death certificate if needed but I really don't want to upset my Mother-in-law by asking for one (and getting it translated etc) if its not totally necessary.

No to your question. There is no absence limit or evidence needed for those on a spouse visa

I am preparing all of the documents needed for my wife's spouse extension but only seem to have a copy of her divorce certificate (and translation). Is this enough? I *think* that is all my lawyer uploaded when we made the original application but can't be sure.

General
Scans of all pages of mine and my wife's current passports.
Scan of back and front of her BRP
Scans and translations of our marriage certificate and her divorce certificate.
Declarations for Home Office to check info provided
Language
Scan of her A2 Trinity pass certificate
Financial
Letter from employer stating my current salary, length of employment, that I am a permanent employee and how long I have been earning current wage, that payslips are genuine etc etc
Payslips last 6 months
bank statements from last 6 months showing wage deposits.
Accommodation
Land registration document showing purchase of house in 2019
Title register for current address showing that I am the owner - this, inexplicably, I downloaded on August 29th of this year - does this need to be within the last 28 days? I can do it again, if needed, its only £3.
Cohabitation
Council tax from last 3 years - 2 in joint names, 1 in just mine (2020)
6 letters/bills for each of us spread over last 2 years - lots of different sources for both.

My wife went to Argentina in at the end of January this year, she returned early May. She had not expected to stay so long but her father was very ill and died late April. I have explained that in the part of the application that asks about absences from the UK. There is a question though after that asks whether she has lived anywhere else in the last 2 years? I have said no. But should I be saying yes? In relation to her time staying at her mum and dads in Argentina when she was there??

Finally, there is a question about any other HO reference numbers. We have one from the first spouse application 2.5 years ago, do I put that?

Many, many thanks to all who answer and maintain this board, its a huge, huge help.

I have done the sensible thing and paid £3 for a copy with today's date. Not needed? Who knows but for £3 a no brainer. Any ideas about the rest though? Does it look OK?

She was just visiting her dad since her intention is currently to live in the UK so this is correct.

Finally, there is a question about any other HO reference numbers. We have one from the first spouse application 2.5 years ago, do I put that? It's not mandatory to include it so if you have it fine otherwise not an issue if you said no

Title register is also fine and does not need to be within 28 days old.
