Hi
I am becoming a serial poster I am sorry but I have so many questions going round my head right now and this forum is proving so helpful.
So my current issue is this. My Dad has dementia, currently really bad in hospital with an infection. We have just found out that the Deeds to his and my Mums house are not even in his name but in his deceased fathers name! His father died in 1984. I have the grant of probate which says his estate to be left to my Dad. I am not sure why my Dad never transferred the Deeds to his name. Also my Mum thought her name was on the Deeds. So what happens now? We have LPA. My Dad is in no position to meet a solicitor to get this sorted. Will a solicitor arrange for us to change the Deeds with an LPA? My mum is worried the whole house will be lost to care home fees if the house is in his name only. They have been married 40 years and lived in their house together for just over that.
Thanks in advance for any advice. I am calling a solicitors on Monday but just wondered if anyone had come across a similar situation.
