solicitor said this would avoid having to sell for care home fees.

This tells me that (i) the trust will not provide potection against care home fees, since you are only protected if the trust is for a different purpose; (ii) whoever gave such disastrous advice was almost certainly not a genuine solicitor.

Firstly, check whether the advice really did come from a solicitor: I think this unlikely, but if so you might get compensation from the Solicitors' Regulatory Authority. Secondly, see a genuine solicitor and find out how you can get yourself out of this mess. Sadly, you will probably need to spend thousands of pounds to undo the damage already done.
