My Mam died last August and my Dad had to go into care due to dementia. Mams estate went into probate and is still in probate now. As part of the Fair Deal Scheme 7.5% of the value of the family home is taken into the calculation of my Dad's contribution towards his home fee.
Is it correct to take the full value of the house when calculating his contribution if he does not in fact have the house in his name yet due to the probate case ?
