My mother is about to go into a care home. Her assetts are below the £23250 threshold apart from the property. I own half as tenant in common with her. I have read about CRAG guidelines saying her value is not just 50% of the valuation but what the value is to ‘willing buyer on the open market’. The guidance for the 2014 care act uses similar words as this supersedes CRAG. This could possibly be nil as who wants to buy half a share in a house where the other party does not want to sell.
So possibly my mother could be on LA rates which I am happy to top up to ensure a good home.
I cannot find any real current experience of what LAs are doing in this case. Has anybody any real life experience of such please ?
