Hi,
My Grandma recently went into care after being diagnosed with dementia, she has a house (approx 120k)and savings (60 k) and is self funding.
My Grandad died 15 years ago, and when he died my grandma added my Mum onto all her bank and savings accounts (she is an only child).
We have been advised that as all savings are also in my mums name, and have been for such a long time,she is entitled to keep half of them.
Obviously we want to ensure that everything is done correctly and we are going to make an appointment with a solicitor however just wondering if anybody has any experience or advice. I have looked through previous threads but can only find this situation where it is spouses rather than parent/ child
Thank you
