Just thought I'd give a quick update - turns out the car isn't actually in mum's name, so no problems there, but also discovered that dad's re-mortgaging the house to pay for wherever mum ends up, which doesn't sound good to me. I have at least managed to tell a couple of uni people what's going on, though, and they've both been very good about it, so that's something.

Mum's in England this week looking at houses...
