    If you don't need care, then there will a nice inheritance for your children.
    if we are not talking about very expensive London property above after 30k PA(Assuming nursing is NOT required) in carehome per person there will be nothing left of the inheritance very soon.

    I know.

    I don't know what the OP's children are like but I was very pleased that Dad had enough capital to fund his own care. I couldn't have let him go into the only home locally that charges the low rate that the council will pay.
