Hi, has anyone any idea about keeping part of a property that is sold for care? My MIL bought the house opposite us twenty years ago. We have been supporting her for the past five years due to increasing Alzheimers. Recently it has hit crisis point and we need to consider a nursing home. My question is can we keep or buy her garage if the house is sold? We've been using it for 20 years. There is an equity release mortgage on the property that enabled her to furnish and make alterations to the house when she moved in. She does not have capacity and we have LPA in both finace and health.
