Hello,
My Dad passed away earlier this year after 2 1/2 years in Nursing Home under fair deal scheme.
Nursing home took great care of him.
HSE have sent form out looking for Schedule/list of Assets at time of death. All the assets go to my Mother so need for Probate process.
I would like to ask about House valuation for this List of Assets. When we applied for fair deal the house valuation was 170,000.00 for 3 bed semi-detached house in North County Dublin.
This value came from Estate Agent and may have been a bit on the conservative side although House is 40 years old. There has been no recent house sales in our estate to compare valuation.
It is up to ourselves to estimate current house valuation. Property prices would have gone up considerably in the 2 1/2 years since fair deal application was completed.
I am worried about HSE billing us a lot extra based on increased property valuation.
Is this valid worry and Has anybody had to return similar form recently?
thank you
