Hi, I feel that the time will come when I need to place my husband into care. We have a joint bank account and individual savings attached to it. What would be the position when the time comes, if I was to transfer his savings via the current account into my savings? We have both worked hard all our lives and paid our taxes and so on. It's just that there is a big age gap, and I need to survive, and really can't afford to lose this money. Sorry if this sounds hard and uncaring. I really love the man that I have lost. I care 24/7 with no help at all. The family are far flung, and he refuses any sort of respite. I have not had a day off in 5 years. If it was not for my darling little cat, I'd feel tempted to walk away.
