My mother died in 2010 and i was left her half of the bungalow and my father owned the other half.
My father died in 2015 and I was left my father's half of the bungalow on condition I allowed my step mother to occupy it until she passed away or entered care,
She has now entered care and is unlikely to come out.
The council wants the bungalow sold to pay her fees even though I am the sole owner.
It is saying because my step mother was married to my father the bungalow has got to be sold to pay my step mother's care fees and this overrides the fact I am the 100% owner on the land certificate as I live in another property jointly owned with my wife.
Has anybody else had this sort of experience.
