What sort of implications did you have in mind?
If it’s his property now, and the new property will also be his, it doesn’t make any difference.if he’s planning on donating some to you to avoid potential future care home fees then that would be problematic. But any property you are both living and would be disregarded anyway because you are over 60.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Is he in receipt of any means tested benefits like pension credit? Having too much cash will stop this I believe.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.
