Accountant: Don't Lose Your Home to Care Fees!

Описание: Are you worried about losing your parents' home to care fees? In this video, I explain how UK care costs can quickly drain your capital — and the steps you can take to legally protect the family home.

With residential care now averaging around £5,000 per month and nursing care closer to £6,000 per month, more families than ever are being forced to sell their homes to fund later-life care. As care fees continue to rise and household finances become tighter, planning ahead has never been more important.

Many people wrongly believe that the 7-year inheritance tax rule applies to giving away their home to avoid care fees. In this video, I explain why this is a dangerous myth — and how “gifting” property can lead to serious financial and legal problems.

I break down realistic, practical, and compliant strategies that actually work, including:

✔ Why giving away your house rarely protects it
✔ The truth about deprivation of assets
✔ Tenants in common explained simply
✔ How property ownership affects care assessments
✔ Downsizing as a planning strategy
✔ Equity release – pros, cons and risks
✔ How to protect your spouse and family legally
✔ Common mistakes that cost families thousands i.e. the use of trusts
