Hello, My mum is in a wonderful care home but is self funding, I have full LPA for her finances, I am currently renting her bungalow out and hope to defer payment when her capital runs out. My question is, her lump sum, can I in her interests, buy another rental property to rent out ? Would the LA still defer payment on her original bungalow or would they question me buying a rental property & using her lump sum. Any other options I haven't thought about ? Any advice gratefully received.
