Hi there, we are looking into the fair deal scheme for our father. He is on a disability pension and has no other income besides that. We are just wondering what to do with the family home. I am aware that up to 22% of the house would have to be given to the govt upon it's sale after my fathers passing. However, we don't want the house to just stay idle all that time as it will just deteriorate but we also don't want to go to the trouble of renting it out if the rent will just be given over to the govt. We don't want to sell it now as this would break our father's heart. Is it the case that the rent would be taken by the govt? Has anyone any suggestions?
Thanks
