These are the sort of questions that pop into my head when I'm lying awake at night
Is there anything written in law that allows LA's to force people to sell their assests in order to pay for their care? I know there is the upper/lower limits for savings etc, but is there an actual law that states that if a person is above the upper limit they have to sell their home.
What would happen if a person refused to sell their home? In other situations such as mortgage defaults, bankruptcy, repossession etc, there is, I would imagine, quite complex legal hoops to be jumped through in order for them to get their hands on your property. Is it the same for the funding of social and nursing care?
