Does anyone know/ have experience of leaving a house ,occupied by adult child with mental ill health to a suitable charity. I would want them to continue to live there, but for said charity to have some oversight if they need alternative care at some point. I do not want to leave it directly to ac, but want to protect her right to be there until she dies or leaves for other reasons.

There is also a live in boyfriend who I have agreed to live there but only if she wants that. No rent paid by anybody.

Might I suggest that you have a word with the charity Mencap. They have a separate trust company that sets up trusts, both ordinary trusts and vulnerable beneficiary trusts, for people with a learning disability or autism.

I have no idea if this is appropriate for your situation but, at the very least, they should give you some ideas if this is not appropriate to your situation.

"...leaving a house ,occupied by adult child with mental ill health to a suitable charity."

They specifically cover that topic here:
