Top advice from Ian about Lasting Power of Attorney - absolutely essential for everyone of any age. The example I give clients is Kate Garraway who had to rely on financial support from friends and family when her husband was suffering from Covid and everything was frozen as he hadn't set up Power of Attorney.
Does the other half , as it were or any relative living there as their main home whilst wife or husband is in care home eventually have to pay care home fees for loved one as you say the house is ignored ?

I assume savings are then looked at ?

But once they run out what happens regarding care fees , if the house isn't counted and there is no savings or investments left .....who pays ?
