Transferring house into child's name

But why do you consider it reasonable that your parents should NOT pay for their own care, when they clearly have the money to do so?

There's no moral reason why well-off people, who own their own homes, should leave that money to their children rather than paying for their own care.

Don't rip of the rest of us taxpayers for your own benefit, please!

Because it is considered very unfair by the majority of decent people who have worked all their lives and paid their taxes.

Foreigners simply turn up in this country by any means possible and our government simply hand out everything to them on a plate and they don't have to pay a penny back!

The NHS is supposed to look after us when we need it. The parents house has no doubt been paid for by sheer hard work and should not have to be sold to susidise the NHS. Wake up and smell the coffee you fool!

Anyway, this country bleed the decent working people dry. It makes no difference if the government spend another £500,000,000. Do you think they are about to say "Hang on we have some money left over, you can all have a tax break for a year" Good luck to anyone who get anything if they have paid into the system!!!

No need to be offensive just because your biased and racist opinions don't happen to accord with my views.

Long-term care isn't paid for by the NHS "you fool". It's paid for by local authorities - i.e. by other local council taxpayers.

Benefits are there for people who can't afford to pay for essential things - like food, rent, heating, care - not to ensure that relatively rich people (i.e. anyone who owns their own home, or has lots of other assets) can give their money to their children.

Why does a new poster dredge up an 18 month old thread?

No idea but it was very interesting.

You get the point I was making anyway. I'm not a racist, I'm just a realist!

I don't suppose there is any point whatsoever in telling you that this simply isn't true?

I doubt it; I'm sure that it's what Hackitt has read in the Daily Mail and therefore it's true. :rolleyes:

This discussion is like every other one concerning means tested benefits.

Because we were fairly prudent we have far too much money to be able to claim anything but our basic SRP. However our less prudent neighbours have nothing put by so can have pension credit therefore pay no council tax, get help with dental and optical stuff.

I see this business of having to liquidate assetts (house) to pay for something they need as no different. We pay our way because we can afford to, only right that if the need arises your parents do the same.

Totally agree here
I mean you want the rest of us to pay for them? when they can afford it?
