The issues surrounding legal capacity (or the lack of it) and/or financial issues can make the purchase of a home by a disabled person very complicated. There are, however, alternatives that can avoid these issues but allow the disabled person to live independently.
It is important to note that whilst someone without legal capacity can't contract to buy a home, they can inherit one or receive it as a gift. It may, however, still be necessary to set up a power of attorney or legal guardianship to deal with ongoing issues such as bills and property maintenance.
