I am beginning to get rather annoyed....

His share of the new house (and you should put his name on the deeds) will be passed on as per his will.

There is nothing in the guidance notes to say whose name the new property should be in.

Has this changed? It used to be that some of half share of the property sale could be used by the partner not in care but I understood that this was at the discretion of the LA and not mandatory. It was probably allowed in most instances due to property prices.

No not changed just kevin using the word "Mandatory" which is not correct.

The LA have to approve it during the FA as not Deprivation. The person in care/PoA also has to approve it.
