Please can you answer a question for me.In 2021 after my husbands death l contacted land registry to remove my husbands name as a proprietor but several years ago we did tenants in common naming my son.l can’t find anything in my will stating this.l do have Restriction shown on register which l do not understand but feel that his name should be on register.l am concerned as he lives in the house with me that should all my funds be used on Nursing home fees he would have to sell.l would b3 grateful if you could clarify that he would own half the property and therefore safe.He is named in my will as sole beneficiary.Many thanks
Hi and thank you for your excellent question.
The assessment of assets is a question of fact, and as such if your son now owns half he owns half! Of course, this should be reflected correctly in the legal title, and if it is not you may wish to put this right sooner than later? This is something QLAW and help with – please contact our property team at property@qlaw.co.uk
Meantime, you might find this article recently posted on our website of interest. It looks (in some depth) at the question of ‘care fee planning’
