The Principle is that Local Authority can claim the cost of care from your estate including house value. If you give away any assets they can reclaim from the recipients, there is in theory no time limit on this, if they can prove you were intentionally avoiding care fees.

There are solicitors who can advise you of how to keep the bulk of your estate from being used for care home fees.

I own my own house, have one daughter and have a trust will.
Because it's in my name only and she would inherit then sadly it would be used if I needed a care home. Advice was not to give her half now o be a joint tenancy for lots of reasons.
Anyone else in this situation?
