My sister owns two houses that her children live in with their families. She lives in a flat. Her health is poor and as she is seen as having property she pays all her cater costs from her state pension. Would equity release be a wise move to give her some money to fall back on?

    Does she charge the children rent?

    Pmd the team to move to a more appropriate board as it’s currently been posted on expired discount codes.
