Moving into old family home.

Payton

My old family home is lying empty as our dad is in a nursing home. I recently got divorced as asked my brother and sister could I move in and start to renovate the home for me to move into.
My family home at the moment will be sold and the assets split between myself and ex (no mortgage). My brother, sister and I have verbally agreed that my share of the sale of the my house will be split 50/50 with them so I can take over the old family home as in buy them out now. They are happy that the house is staying with family as it was a happy place to grow up in.
I'd like to be 100% sure that there is no pit falls where I can be removed or told to leave as our father is thankfully still alive but when he eventually passes away I'd hate to think that a relative could throw a spanner in the works. My dads will states that everything is divided between his children.
Is there a process that we can sign now or how do I go about it?

If your Dad is in a nursing home is the house not part of the fair deal, or what ever it's called, where the nursing home is covered by the sale of the home after death?

For the rest you'll need to see a solicitor. Your Brother, Sister and Dad will each have to see different solicitors.

Your best option would be to consult a solr with a view to drawing up a watertight agreement that all siblings can sign.

Hope all this works out, and that your father has a relaxed old age knowing that succession has been amicably resolved.
However you need to take legal advice on this; that cannot be given here.
Suggest you consult a solicitor

You need a solicitor to advise each party. Can you father manage his affairs? Can that be proven? What if his will changes or has changed already?

Obvious issue would be if the Nursing Homes Support Scheme applies: http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/health/health_services/health_services_for_older_people/nursing_homes_support_scheme_1.html

The house is part of the fair deal scheme for which when my dad passes either the house is sold or the money paid back. We have agreed to pay the money back to the fair deal scheme.
