My father is 86 (in April) and actually fit and healthy.
However, his legs/knees aren't.
He has had a few falls lately and 3 days ago pressed his emergency button (which rings my sister and me) and i went round and found him on the floor where he couldn't get back up again.
My sister is his carer and has been looking around at nursing homes for him and each and every one has said to her 'if he has any money tell him to get rid of it before he comes in'.
I don't have any experience in regards to inheritance, but do appreciate that you can give so much before having to pay any tax.
I am not sure what my question is, but just looking for advice of anyone who has gone through similar lately.
