We are trying to support my PIL through a pretty terrible situation and need to be able to give them some advice.
MIL has two (!) terminal illnesses and has been cared for at home by her husband and local authority carers. FIL has terminal cancer which has just come back after chemo. They currently have a local authority live in carer to help.
They are desperate to protect the house when he dies rather than it go on carer fees. We suggested tenants in common for the house, with anything beyond that to be spent on care costs.
FIL seems to think that we can sell their house after his death and then MIL can give us the money to extend our house and pay towards the mortgage, therefore keeping all the house money from the sale away being spent on care costs.
I don't think this would work? What are their options?
