Inheritance tax

[islaydarkblue]

It used to be.....say me and Mrs sunshine own a house.

I die ( steady at the back �� ).....instead of my 50% of house going to Mrs sunshine it goes to my kids ( if I had any).....then council can't include home or force sale if Mrs sunshine goes into care.

Genuinely can't remember how that would be treated for inheritance tax liability.

There is nothing to stop you doing that at present.
You could state in your will that on your death your house is left to your children whilst giving your wife life rent of your house until she dies.
