you don't need it when you're dead and your kids didn't do anything to earn it

how do you know they did not earn it? Les say my wife's grandfather (97) is currently living in his home, and my wife's auntie looks after him - the burden of his welfare and health is falling on her ands her alone. not the state.

why should the state get the house when its not contributed towards his care at all, when the auntie has shouldered the burden in its entirety?
