Protective Property Trust: Safeguarding Your Home and Legacy
Understanding Protective Property Trust
A Protective Property Trust is a legal arrangement designed to protect your property's value and ensure it benefits your chosen beneficiaries. By establishing a PPT, you take control over the distribution of your property's ownership and create a framework that guards against potential challenges, such as care fees and remarriage scenarios.
Introducing the Protective Property Trust (PPT)
A PPT is a powerful legal tool that must be established while both partners are alive, converting joint ownership into 'Tenants in Common' to ensure equitable distribution. Key features include:
Secure Ownership: Mr. and Mrs. each own 50% of the property, preventing unwanted beneficiaries.
​
Estate Protection: PPT safeguards against Local Authorities selling the house to fund care costs for the survivor.
​
Beneficiary Control: The surviving spouse maintains a 'right of occupancy,' retaining the ability to live in the property.

Care Costs Vulnerability:
Homes with assets above £23,250 (in England) or £50,000 (Wales) may not receive state help, potentially leading to selling the home for care funding.
​
Surviving Partner's Dilemma:
If the surviving partner goes into care, Local Authorities may means-test 100% of the property and sell it to cover care costs.
​
​
Remarriage Uncertainty:
A surviving partner's remarriage might alter inheritance outcomes, affecting intended beneficiaries.
​
Inheritance at Risk:
Homes sold by Local Authorities to cover care fees highlight the vulnerability of property assets.

Did You Know?
Currently, anyone with assets in excess of
£23,250
(this includes the
family home) may not be eligible for any state help with their residential care fees. The result is that anyone who owns their own home is unlikely to receive any assistance, and that home will most likely have to be sold to fund the care. There is a way, however, that this situation can be challenged.
