    Assuming you or your OH makes it into your 90s and your son is in his 60s he could prevent the house being sold by moving in to it.  In that situation all that could be done is a lien put on it so that when he finally sells (when he's in his 90s perhaps) the council could reclaim what is owed for your care.  
    Not that simple. It is likely that the son has his own place to live in so is not a dependant adult.

    Quite why so many people are desperate to swap a care home of their choosing for one the LA can afford to put you in is beyond me. If I ever need care my first choice will be live in cares, second choice a high quality care home. I don’t have a 3rd choice.

    My choice is rob a bank. If I get away, live in luxury. If I get caught end up in prison & get treated far better than in any care home. :-:smiley:
