Let’s be clear; there is no fool-proof, guaranteed way of avoiding the value of your house being taken into account for means testing. Anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong or dishonest. Sadly, there are lots of unregulated businesses out there – who are not solicitors – who do not put your interests first. Have a look at this recent report on the BBC news website; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-39589083

Anti-avoidance measures in the law allow some gifts to be ignored by the authorities, and even set aside by the Court. Bear in mind that the cost of care is going up, people are living longer and money is tight. Our view is that local authorities will, if anything, get tougher in years to come and will look very carefully at what you have done.

If you have concerns about these issues come and discuss them with us.
