    You all need to think again. If MiL doesn't want to leave a mess then she needs to see a solicitor & sort our a Will. Son can inherit everything when she dies & not before. That way she retains all HER assets in case she has need of them herself, now or in the future. If it's all spent on care home fees, so be it.

    Both mother & son must think seriously about changing her joint bank account into both names, what will either of them do should they need the help of any benefits agency?

    Think very carefully about your options.
    Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.
