in Over 50s MoneySaving
An elderly relative wants to give away some money to family. She is below the IH threshold. She is concerned that in a few years she may need residential care and would like to know the implications of doing this regarding paying fees. How many years back of finance do they look at for instance ? Thankyou

    Search the forum in the box at the top for "deprivation of capital". There have been a lot of threads in recent weeks.
