Doing this for a parent
Six in ten care home enquiries are made for a parent.
- Run the free check yourself first, choosing “I’m asking for Mum or Dad”.
- Start with the powers of attorney, not the money.
- The decisions stay theirs.
Why these three help
Rough figures are fine for the check. You then know the shape of things before the conversation.
Almost everyone agrees that someone should be able to deal with the bank and the house if they cannot. A power of attorney costs £92 on GOV.UK and can be done together at the kitchen table.
Nothing is signed or decided here. Decisions about the house belong to the person whose house it is, and any adviser or solicitor will speak to them directly.
Questions
Can I do the check on a phone?
Yes. It also works on a tablet or computer, which some people find easier for typing figures.
I have lost the link to my report
Email hello@houseandheirs.com from the address you used and we will send it again.
Can you delete my details?
Yes, at any time. Email us and we will confirm within five working days.
Do you cover Scotland and Wales?
The check applies the Scottish and Welsh capital limits. The inheritance tax rules are the same across the UK.
