You posted a thread some time back about buying a house with money your mother left you, so it seems she has already provided for you.

The money she wanted to leave me is the money I'm trying to release with a DoV. She wasn't happy with the will and wanted change it, but we thought we had all the time in the world to do so. 

And this is money that would otherwise go to your father? Are you 1000% certain he won't need it for care himself? You can still run into Deprivation of Assets issues if you do this DOV just for cash...

A local authority will undoubtedly scrutinise a late DOV carefully if this becomes an issue.
