Hi all.
A friend recently sent this to me, it comes from a solicitor’s website and dated February 2020:
“If a daughter or son has lived with the parent requiring care their whole life, they may have occupational rights in relation to that family home and this could mean the value of the family home cannot be taken into consideration on any financial assessment. The question of whether a person has an occupational right over a property is one of fact and will be assessed per individual circumstance.”
Does anyone know anything about this? I’ve never heard of ‘occupational right’ when it comes to property disregards.
