Can't he just leave it to you in his will or is that too easy?
i would contact a solicitor there is something about inheritance tax? if you should sell it could it go in joint names? also if he has to go in a home the officials might think he is dodging paying for his care definitely a solicitor is required
he cant just leave it to him or he will end up paying inheritence tax, although im not sure how you will go about any other way
Just get him to leave it in the will. Anything else is problematic. The only benefit is if you are hoping to avoid care home fees but that's an old trick that would be picked up. You can always help him pay the mortgage. What advantage is there in buying it/ taking it off him now?
