My mum is having to sell up in Brighton and move house to be closer to family,
She is going to make plenty of money on her house she has owned for 50 years, but when she buys a new bungalow, what are the legalities of putting it in mine and my brothers name?
The reason I ask is, ( no one knows the future) is she needs to go in a care home in later years, the council can try and get the property sold to cover fees, obviously if it was in my name and mum lived rent free, then the council (or Govt) cant make a demand for its sale for fees, is this legal?
