Transfer of Equity?

*max*

It seems people are mistaking Mr Toad for the OP!

So, your family has benefited TWICE from the "grasping government" - not taking into account the help that you would have been given when your son was born and when he was educated .......

If you do hand over ownership of your assets to your son, you will be deemed to have "deliberately deprived yourself of assets" - and will therefore be ineligible for government intervention in your care needs. Are you confident that your son will then hand your money back to you?

You too seem to be confusing me with the original poster. Can I suggest that you read the thread and my responses again.

My references to the grasping government are ironic.

You are absolutely right - it's those penguins!

My apologies, Mr Toad, post changed to reflect my error. :eek:

Misread Mr Toad for (OP) Toddy...

Humble apologies, Mr Toad ......senior moments coinciding with the blonde moments again :o

Trouble was Toddy Senior referred to his old mum with dementia, and then you told us that your mum developed dementia .......

Just shows why I've had trouble with my budgetting all these years - adding 2 + 2 and making 5!

Please forgive me and :beer:

Mr_Toad

No problem it's an easy mistake to make, the names are quite similar.

The OP hasn't shown himself since he tried to patronise me. Perhaps he was surprised that the rest of us are not trying to con other tax payers. :cool:

Sorry to disappoint you Polly (surname: Wally-Doodah?) but, having read posts subsequent to yours, I've come to understand that some of you can't read simple English because "Toddy Senior" doesn't look a bit like "Mr Toad"!
I originally posted what I thought was a simple question, principally because I wanted to gauge the depth of feeling about how much my wife and I could expect to leave to our son and I'd heard rumours that the £23,000 figure might be going up. It must be obvious to even you lot that successive governments have treated the issue of paying for care home fees as a political "hot potato" and now have no interest in it at all, as they now try to buy our votes in other ways. Replies to my original post have ranged from "go to Dignitas" (over my dead body, sunshine!) to "your house value is not due to your hard work, it's due to rising house prices". If such is the case, how about this for an idea? Allow each UK house owner to pass on £75,000 as an inheritance (to a maximum of two children) and then combine the remaining UK house equity to fund all our care home needs? I guess you lot in the South of England will be more than happy to do this - after all you've benefited much more than we have in the North because of rising house prices - and not hard work! You all seem abundantly happy with the "Eton Mess" we have on the government's front benches and you're also well versed in the art of patronising new posters such as myself. I asked my "precious" son (and you'll never know just how precious he is to us!) to read your replies to my original post and he couldn't believe the angst displayed. I also can't believe that I've been lectured to by an Essex gel (innit?) and spoken down to by Harry's Dad (surname: Gently-Patronising?) However, should I ever need to recommend an on-line glee club for Tory wrinklies, I now know where to direct my friends. As we live in the North of England - check your compasses folks, we're north of Watford and south of Scotland! - I'm happy to say that we like to have a laugh up here. Perhaps you lot should try it sometime? I won't be posting again, I obviously don't have enough GCE's to warrant inclusion in such esteemed company! Bye bye..xxxxxx:rotfl:

Sorry if you don't like what I wrote. I'm a Yorkshire lass born and bred, and we 'tell it as it is'. I've lived in Essex now for the past 20+ years and I find that Essex people are quite forthright too.

If you don't like any of the politicians or modern politics, you have one easy option open to you. Get on your hind legs and put yourself forward for election. It's an experience, I can tell you. If you don't like being shot at on an anonymous forum you've seen nothing to what you will encounter on people's doorsteps or in an election meeting. Tin hats and fireproof jackets - you'll feel as if you need them. I know. Been there. All you have to lose is your £150 deposit. You might even get a few more votes than the Monster Raving Loony Party candidate, of which there is always one, and who always gets a few hundred votes. One reason we're in such a parlous position democratically is that in any election the majority of those entitled to vote stay at home on election day, or find something more interesting to do. So, one of the reasons for your complaint is that decisions made are NOT made by politicians elected by the majority. They're elected by people who are interested enough, committed enough, have enough of an axe to grind, to actually go along to the polling-station. The rest have a voice but it is never heard.

Do you know, I cannot remember the last time a new poster was so rude and arrogant!

Goodbye - you certainly won't be missed. Nasty little man!

Am I missing something here? What the OP is asking about and proposing to do is legal, so why all the abuse? I really don't understand all the extreme nastiness towards him.
