My dad has recently gone into a care home. He has some savings and owns half of a house. The other half has been left in trust to my sister and I. My question is, can I safely part fund the fees until the house is sold and then claim back the money I have paid when the sale goes through. I will keep thorough records of all of my expenditures and receipts? I have LPA for my dad.

Hi @Jackiejan and welcome to our friendly and helpful community. I don't have direct experience of the situation you describe. This guidance may help to answer your question:

Do you have to sell your house to pay for care?
Whether a home is taken into consideration during a financial assessment depends on where the person with dementia is receiving care. If the person is living in a care home, their home may be included.
