Gifting 2nd home to my son?

[king1]

There has to be a way of doing it, legally and above board. The law was never designed to hurt family gifting. I would see a solicitor and get their advice.

I don't think it was ever intended to prevent family gifting - it is moreso an issue of preventing family gifting to reduce assets below thresholds such that one can then collect government subsidies for rest home fees...
