The selling the 1/6 isn't as easy on everyone suggests. One of the other family members might not want to increase their share. And they might end up paying SDLT at the higher rate if they already own another property and the consideration exceeds £40,000. And if all the income from the property is currently used to meet the care fees, I can't see them agreeing to it anyway.
Also, I presume your father and mother were tenants in common and not joint tenants of the property. In the latter case, the property cannot be passed to the children while there is a surviving spouse."Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance" - Confucius0 -
I see that now and admit I didn't before so my error but do you need to write in such a rude fashion.
Many people repeat what has been said by someone else and all you are doing is trying to make yourself look clever.
You haven't!
Nothing rude about it. Just a simple statement. If you can't be bothered to read other replies before rushing to post your own opinion, you just clutter up the board pointlessly.0 -

I see, with 600 posts to your name you have become the message board police, maybe you should apply to be a moderator.
Tolerance of others is a great skill to learn, you will get further in your life if you are polite and pleasant than if your are rude and abrasive.
I believe you are trying to help the OP so well done but please don't tell me what I can and can't post again. Actually everything including what you post is our own opinions and all are welcome here and valid.0 -

I'm not telling you what you can or can't post. I'm giving you my opinion on whether your post was useful. If you want to continue posting useless things, you are perfectly free to do so. You will note that at no point did I say you should or should not have done anything.
Ironically of course you are, in one breath, telling me I shouldn't have posted something because it was telling you that you shouldn't have posted something. Surely you can see the irony in that, at least? The only person to have tried to tell someone else what to post is you.0 -

Read my posts again, tell me where I have said you cannot post.
I have said that what your wrote rudely and your opinions could be expressed politely.
Having read your other posts I do see you become very aggressive and bullying if your opinion is challenged and I guess that is what I am getting here.
All I would like is for you to have posted less abruptly. Many people are saying that people are not posting because as soon as they post anything they are shot down by other bullying attitudes.
We all have something to offer and should all be able to do it pleasantly to help others.
I will continue to post as I have for many years when I think I have something to say that is useful, it is possible it may be in agreement with someone else or a similar post to another person but that is the nature of forums.
I hope you will continue to post useful advice but in a slightly less abrasive manner.0 -
As a complete angel and non abrasive poster :A i think it's time to let this one go.0

Read my posts again, tell me where I have said you cannot post.
I didn't claim you told me I cannot post, I said you told me WHAT I can and cannot post. That would be where you said "please don't tell me what I can and can't post again. "
Happy to point that out for you.
And frankly if you think my original post of "I imagine he does know that because someone told him 3 hours ago" was "rude and abrasive" you need to get out more.0 -
