3 Year Rule - Start Date

Postby Chrissie18 » Tue Oct 09, 2018 9:51 pm

I am POA for an Aunt. She left her property on 24 Dec 2015 and after a long hospital stay entered residential care in April 2016. For the purposes of the 3 year rule, when would the clock start ticking, Dec 16 or Apr 17?

Grateful for any advice.

I would say April. The property remained her only home while she was in hospital.
