There is no restriction on you doing what you
propose BUT

If you give your house away to avoid paying
care fees, the local authority can set the transaction aside as though it never
happened and force a sale of the house from your children.

The only way round it is to sell it to them
for full value but then it means that the local authority would be spending
cash (your cash) instead of having to sell your house.

There are various schemes around which supposedly
put the property into a trust but none of them are guaranteed to work in fact
I've never come across one yet that does work. Ohe organisations that set them
up do it because they charge £4000 and in my opinion they are praying on people
who are looking for a solution to the problem, a solution which does not exist.

Can I help further?
