Hi, not sure if this is the right place to post or not - first timer here, so apologies if so! I'll try and be brief.
Early stages of putting DF into sheltered accommodation which is paid for by monthly rent. Unfortunately he is not eligible for any housing benefit as such, because he owns his own home (albeit small).
I'm really not sure what to do for the best. I suppose we could sell the house and pay the rent from that, or we could perhaps rent it which would easily cover the cost also. However, someone has mentioned that I should get him to sign the house over to myself and my brother so that he no longer owns it as an asset - not sure what benefit this give us, if any?
Does anyone have any experience of this kind of thing please? I really don't know where to start!
