Trouble is if the council think you’ve done it to avoid care home bills they can have it discounted as deprivation of assets.
It also le@ves the kids with a sizeable capital gains tax bill when the second parent dies.

Looks like a financial spiv site to me.
Much better and simpler to just arrange a tenants in common ownership. It does exactly the same but cannot be challenged as deprivation of assets.
