OP, I don't know of any child, myself included, who gives two hoots about what inheritance they might get when a parent dies. We told my dad for years to spend all his money on him, but he wouldn't. He left us a nice sum, but I didn't really need it. We're going to use some of it towards a newer house this year, but weren't that bothered before. If it was me, I'd speak to your daughter and her family and see what they think. They might love the idea of you moving in, or moving nearby, or even staying where you are! For some, having granny coming to visit is a lot different to having granny moving in (obviously not everyone).

I wouldn't worry too much about the deprivation of assets issue too much. It does happen, and certainly you need to be careful, but the council has to prove there was an intent to avoid paying for care, and your plans don't suggest that is the case.

You are right that they don't care of inheritance over my wellbeing. Though my needs are small and simple and I could still have a nice life. I've realised today I certainly wont get in new home additions what I would be selling. Its such a bugbear to have to factor in the relevant web of tax pitfalls and LA requirements.
