This is called a mandatory property disregard. Even if you think you know which arrangement will work best for you, a major decision like this should be made with independent advice. With parental homes and/or savings potentially at risk, both buyers and their parents should meet with an IFA or mortgage adviser to decide the best solution. You may also decide to take some legal advice from a solicitor. Your aunt won’t necessarily have to sell her home to pay for her care – it depends on her circumstances.

If the property is to be sold, probate gives the personal representative the authority to sell it in accordance with the terms of the will. If the property is registered and the person who died was the sole owner, then the personal representative will often either Assent (form AS1) the property to the person(s) who inherits it (beneficiaries) or Transfer (form TR1) the property to someone else.

It is yet another reason for getting professional legal advice.
