disregarded capital - property on the market
Thu 05-Mar-09 07:52 AM |
Hi,
My client has inherited a property which she put on the market around 1 year ago. Her IS (due to ill health) was stopped as the DWP state she has provided no evidence to suggest that the property is on the market.
This part is easily remedied, but I wonder if anyone knows of any case law to show how long capital can be disregarded while on the market. I know that it is 6 months initially, then as long as is reasonably practicable, but i was hoping for some cases to support this.
If anyone knows of any, I would be very grateful.
