70Transfer of assets to avoid charges1

This section applies in a case where an adult's needs have been or are being met by a local authority under sections 18 to 20 and where—

a

the adult has transferred an asset to another person (a “transferee”),

b

the transfer was undertaken with the intention of avoiding charges for having the adult's needs met, and

c

either the consideration for the transfer was less than the value of the asset or there was no consideration for the transfer.

2

The transferee is liable to pay to the local authority an amount equal to the difference between—

a

the amount the authority would have charged the adult were it not for the transfer of the asset, and

b

the amount it did in fact charge the adult.

3

But the transferee is not liable to pay to the authority an amount which exceeds the benefit accruing to the transferee from the transfer.

4

Where an asset has been transferred to more than one transferee, the liability of each transferee is in proportion to the benefit accruing to that transferee from the transfer.

5

Asset” means anything which may be taken into account for the purposes of a financial assessment.

6

The value of an asset (other than cash) is the amount which would have been realised if it had been sold on the open market by a willing seller at the time of the transfer, with a deduction for—

a

the amount of any incumbrance on the asset, and

b

a reasonable amount in respect of the expenses of the sale.

7

Regulations may specify cases or circumstances in which liability under subsection (2) does not arise.
