Help with getting my mothers name back on her freehold home to fund her care

[population11]

Dear Dementia Family with 9 months battling to get and find my poor mothers assests back in her name I'm at a stand still. Her son has put his name on my mother's home while she was living in it. I have POA and located her medical records at the time clearly confirms lacking memory going back 4 years when the home was transferred. The police keep saying there is no evidence that she didn't give it over.

Now I'm looking for Nursing Homes I'm hoping they will investigate and help me get her home back so I can fund her care in a good nursing home near me as I'm the only one taking care of her. Social Services and Police couldn't help.

I'm hoping Nursing Homes will help. Right now my mum had no capacity and is bed ridden I'm spending 3 hours travelling and caring for mum then picking up kids.

Desperate for some justice.

Nursing homes don’t investigate allegations and disputes between family members. What you need to do first is obtain some legal advice, by consulting a solicitor who specialises in mental capacity and Court of Protection work.

I think social services may see it as deprivation of assets.

Create a time line.
When did mother get her diagnosis? (date from GP)
Date of house transfer. (From Land Registry)
Date of SS involvement.
Date of going into Care.
This is all information that will be need to go forward.

Might also be relevant to include at what point in the time line you got POA?

Have you already tried contacting the Land Registry fraud team for advice (at the bottom of the page in the link)? When I was trying to locate some missing conveyancing documentation I was able to find out which solicitor dealt with the transfer from them over the phone.

Have you already asked social services for a financial assessment? This might then focus their attention on the deprivation of assets issue.

The Land Registry will be able to tell you the date on the Deed of Gift.
If you have proof of incapacity at that date contact a solicitor for help, with LPA you can charge fee to your mother.

This. If your mother doesn't own the house (currently/officially) does it mean she will be council funded? If so, get onto them for a financial assessment. Explain how you would love to pay for her care from sale of her house but you can't... then tell then what her son has done. The police may not be interested but you can be sure that Social Services will be.

Also ask for help from the Land Regustry, as Nitram has said.

and add house value as notional capital to assets.

Thank you Bod I'm trying to go through with it with Social Services who keep reverting me back to the police

Thank you. Social Services told me it's a police matter very near to giving up.

A solicitor specialising in mental capacity and Court of Protection work will advise you what your options are. There is a tool on the Law Society’s website that you can use to work out where the nearest solicitors with that specialism are. In the meantime, with regard to the person at Social Services who told you it isn’t their responsibility, ask them to put that to you in writing with their reasons “so that I can show it to my solicitor”.

As said if social services see it as a deliberate deprivation of assets, transfering as asset out of your name to avoid care home fees, suddenly they may become very interested and not in a good way for the son who did it. K
