I hope someone can give me some info on this.
Sadly we've taken the decision that my Mum will have to go into care as her partner can't cope any more. I read on this site and have been advised by a solicitor that as long as Mum's partner is still living in the house, then it can't be classed as an asset and sold to pay for her care. However he has been told by the social worker that as soon as Mum is in care the house will have to be put on the market and he will have 3 months to move out. Surely this can't be right. The solicitor I spoke to said that it is part of a law called the Crag Rules ( paragraph 7, she thought) This must be something that happens fairly often so surely the social worker should know. Hopefully some on e can help us.
Ultimately Mum's partner has said that he will want to move out and begin again and in that case I understand that the house will have to be sold. When that happens I would like to buy the house; it seem so much a part of Mum that I would hate to lose it. Mum's partner, my sister and I have EPA over Mum's affairs. Would this be a hindrance to me buying the property?
Many thanks,
Rob
