                                             property  is  not  in  their  Estate  and  therefore
              Marriage after Death           cannot  be  means  tested.  All  other  assets  are

                                             passed into a Family Trust via a Will.

              Divorce                        the  disposal  should  be  taken  into  account  when

              Creditors/Bankruptcy           unreasonable to decide that a resident had disposed
                                             of  an  asset  in  order  to  reduce  his  charge  for
              Generational IHT               accommodation  when  the  disposal  took  place  at  a
