Tenants in Common

[ginny56]

Can anyone explain what would happen if a property was tenants in common between husband and wife and the wife had to go into care leaving her husband aged 70 living in the property - is her half of the property taken for care fees ? Thanks

No, the property is disregarded as long as he lives in it.
