The facts are, your grandma could give you the home, but the benefits office call this deprivation, if she had given it to you, say, seven years ago, it would be O.K. so you can't do that. If she goes into a home, presumably she needs care, so try and get Attendance allowance, this coupled with her pensions could pay for all her care. If not, does she have savings? they can also help. If all fails, and no one else, like your Grandad for instance lives there, they can unfortunately have a claim on her estate. Sorry it's not better news. Best of luck!

If it was willed to you seven years ago, you are ok, if not they will try to get you for tax evasion depending on the value of the property. If it's less than seven years they could also make you sell to support your grandmother. Seek advice from a solicitor or a financial advisor. There has been a lot of controversy in the press about this subject, so you are definately better off talking to someone in the know to see where you stand officially.

Most states will seize any property/assets including estates to defray the cost of the care provided. Although I'm sure we still pay taxes to run these homes. See if grandma would be willing to give away or sell her holdings to you or your family. The best bet would be to consult with a lawyer!

I am not sure, but allot of elderly and sick people choose to give away things to their loved ones BEFORE the die becuase taxes are less if you get the item before death then after. My guess is that if she can't pay for an extended stay they will force her to sell the house or just take it. Can you, or the relative that were to get it after she dies buy the house from her for a specail family members only price?

Sorry to say but yes they can.The way to save it is she could sign it over to you but they go back 2 years.You could also pay for her care or care for her yourself so she doesnt go there in the first place.

Well, find a way and take care of her. Maybe you should ask your family to help you out!
You can't do something like that alone!!!

i am positive that they won't take your home just pay the bills so you won't loose the house and if you don't the bank guys will take it.
