Court of Protection

My Mam suffered a stroke and my brother has recently been appointed as Deputy (we went through an appalling Solicitor so it took over a year) for Property and Financial Affairs; I lived at home with her and paid board up until the stroke and due to the level of damage it did she had to move into permanent care in a Nursing Home.

The Court has told my brother I must pay full market rent on the property, which in addition to the bills may mean I can't afford to live there,

Could you get a couple of lodgers in to help pay the rent?

Thanks Rambosmum - re the tenancy advice, to be honest I would never trust a solicitor but I suppose once the COP had their snout in the trough it was inevitable that things would become twisted.

That is a bit rich coming from someone who wants the rest of us to pay for their mother’s care, and wants to contribute nothing, despite having a the benefit of free / cheap accommodation in her house all your adult life.

Thank you for your useless ignorance, very helpful.

I am not the one who made ridiculous statements about the COP, who are there to protect your mother’s interests not yours.

If you wish your mother to keep the house, then it would seem that you will need to pay market rent.
It seems that this will put you under a certain amount of financial pressure - you will need to spend less on the treats you like to give your mother - perhaps your brother could help out with these?
Otherwise, do you have the chance of overtime? Of course, this may mean less time available to visit your mother but if you think that keeping the house in the family is important to her, then she could be prepared to accept this?
