Buying, renting and passing on property

A guide to the different ways a family can arrange housing for a disabled relative.Most people with learning disabilities are still looked after at home by relatives - usually parents but sometimes brothers, sisters or grand parents.

This page has a link to a book. It's for families who are thinking about how they can arrange for their family member to:

• carry on living in the family home in the long term
• move into their own home
• get housing using limited assets or welfare benefits.

The book intends to:

• help families make more effective plans
• give information on some of the alternatives
• answer some of the most common questions.

The information is too long to fit on this webpage - it's 51 pages. To get the book, click on the link under Downloads at the bottom of this page.
