Help! Need advice and thoughts on the subject of care fees to the local council. My daughter is quite disabled and is cared for in what is termed as residential setting. She lives in the community in a bungalow with a great deal of support. She was married, to a chap also from the care setting but he died last year. Now we all assumed no money etc and no will. But this year we found amongst a load of paperwork that he had a pension provider and there was a lump sum available. My daughters mental capacity is that she didn't understand any of it. The pension provider has told us no money until probate is approved and that my daughter is entitled to receive it. All well and good, so the process started. In the meanwhile the Council has informed us that from the date of her husbands death the full fees are payable. My dispute is that she was not in legal ownership of the money and has not benefitted from it yet. Have consulted solicitors and other services but no one has the answer. Any ideas
