Bit long sorry!
My dad moved into residential care last summer following diagnosis of dementia...I am currently awaiting power of attorney to complete sale of house to fund his care.
While I begrudge dad being made to sell while others are council funded, I accept its the way it is.
Dads still quite lucid and was being quite maudlin tonight about us (myself and brother) not having our "inheritance" and getting upset as he worked his whole life for the house.
Is there any sort of loophole or legal way that we could have something from the sale of the house, even if only a token amount?
Because of the dementia I have to have power of attorney, but it also means that as I will been controlling his money he cant "give" us a gift?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Would we be entitled to anything from the sale of the house?
