Giving house to Me!

I can see that it seems hard for the home which was hard-worked for to be lost for care fees. However that is the system that we have and although you could of course transfer the home into your name it would be taken into consideration if your father needs to go into care.

He wants to do this for 2 reasons, firstly to avoid care home fees

So , essentially, you want my 95 year old mother (who worked all her life and paid her taxes) who is now in a care home funded by the sale of her house - but is still paying tax on her pension, to pay for your fathers care so that YOU can get an inheritance!
Is that correct?
If I have this wrong, I apologise for the feeling that I had that you are a very selfish b i t c h because, clearly you are not.
I thought people saved for a rainy day ... your fathers rainy day has arrived. As his attorney make sure he gets through it in comfort.

i will make sure he gets through it in comfort. Yes I want the inheritance but who wouldn't, I dont want your 95 year old mother to pay for him but nor do I want to pay for the people that have not saved and contributed.

It is the nature of society that taxes pay for those who for whatever reason haven't the means to pay for care themselves. Your father is in the position that should he need to go into care that he can and indeed will have to pay. Just to say that even those without any savings or assets still contribute as virtually all their pension is taken.

Hi,

I think like you said best thing will be to go to a Solicitor. Does he have a formal diagnosis? If not I would think some will have to decide if he has the Mental Capacity to decide for you to manage his financial affairs. You could check out 'Office of the public guardian' website.

I think if he did need 24hr care in the next few years then yes it would be seen as deprivation of assets. I suggest searching the net for more advice.

Ive asked before but the question of do you know if they own the house as joint tenants or tenants in common has still not been answered.

If you go to a solicitor, they will need to know this before they give you any advice.

How will you do this when care homes can cost upwards of £1k a week?

I wouldn't want anything from my parents if I knew they could use their house to fund a better quality of care. In the last years I'd like to know they are being well looked after rather than doing everything I can to desperately cling on to any potential inheritance.

It's their money and they've earned it so it should go to benefit them, not any money grabbing offspring.

Thankfully there's absolutely no way this would not fall foul of the rules, so no point in wasting money seeing a solicitor as a "free" 30 minute session will likely establish all you need to know.

How does using your parents' house to fund a better quality of care for your father constitute YOU subsidising non-contributors?:think:

I don't really get why someone would want to deprive a sibling of their fair share. Says it all really. Classy.
