Q My husband (71) and I (62) want to sign over our family home to our three adult children so we can avoid paying huge bills to the Fair Deal Scheme if we ever need long-term care in the future. The plan is for us to retain a lifetime interest in the home once we transfer ownership. What are the tax implications for us and our children?
