Hello.
Myself and my partner aren’t married.
He has dementia.
We have lived together since 2004, but in his house. It is in his sole name and he had more or less paid off the mortgage when I moved in.
So, my question is, if he is required to pay for his own care and his savings run out, will the Local Authority look to try and sell the house even though I still live there?
I was under the impression that they would and that I would have no ‘rights’ to stop it, however I recently read something to the contrary so I am now a bit confused.
If anyone knows it would be very helpful.
Thank you
