Bit of a grim topic but my dad passed away last year, and unfortunately my mam suffers from dementia, so her situation at home is slowly becoming unattainable.
She has quite a bit of savings and the mortgage is paid off on her house.
I think its fair to say that at some point (possibly sooner rather than later) - she may need to go into a home. Naturally, myself and other family members (brother/sister) don't want to lose all of that money to the government (especially this lot).
Has anybody been through this situation? I guess what im asking is....is there anything I can do with that money to ensure the goverment don't get their hands on it?
I'm a bit out of my depth with this - so thanks in advance.
