I ask this question on behalf of a family member who's mother is now being cared for full time in a privately owned nursing home. The daughter for whom I'm asking this question has special needs and does not know how to go about finding out information or liaising with a solicitor. Her mother had £23000 (approx.) And has paid off the mortgage of her home. The nursing home she is in costs around £520 per week which so far has been paid for with her money. After this money runs out, how will it be paid for? Her daughter is willing to sell the house to pay for her care, but does not know how to go about this. And she is also aware that this house was left to her in her mother s will which was written around 10 years ago. Any advicr would be much appreciated
