One of the most common questions we’re asked by clients is how can we protect our house if we ever need to go into a care home?

This is usually followed by comments like someone told us you can transfer your house to your kids or put it in a trust, and as long as you don’t go into a home before seven years pass by, the council won’t be able to force you to sell the house, and then that we’ve worked all our days and don’t want the house basically taken from our kids.

Does this sound familiar? Is it something you’ve been thinking or worrying about?

We’ve written a simple guide to help you make an informed decision about your house and your care home planning. There’s a lot of misinformation being shared around this complex subject, and we would recommend that you pour over this and come back to us with any questions before making any final decisions.
