Hi,
Sheltered accomodation does not count as residential care for private residence relief.
As your mother passed away prior to the house going up for sale, her move to residential care has no impact.
Your father can nominate the house as his main residence, see guidance at:-
CG64477 - Private residence relief: only or main residence: deemed residence
CG64427 - Private residence relief: only or main residence: meaning of residence        
CG64485 - Private residence relief: only or main residence: two or more residences: right of nomination
Thank you.

Hi,
The payment date for a stock's dividend is the day on which the actual cheques go out—or electronic payments are made—to eligible shareholders.
Shareholders owning the stock on the record date will receive the dividend on the payment date.
Thank you.

Hi,
If your self-employment earnings were in-between the Small Profits Threshold of £6,725 pa and Lower Profits threshold of £12,570 you should have your National Insurance covered for every week you were registered Self Employed and shouldn’t have to pay voluntary.
In the 2022 Spring Statement, the Chancellor of the Exchequer introduced a Lower Profit Threshold (LPT) for Class 2 NICS.
This means those who are filing SA returns from 2022/23 onwards and have profits from the Small Profit Threshold (SPT) up to the LPT will now no longer need to pay Class 2 NICs.
To ensure you retain entitlement to contributory benefits HMRC will add 'Treat as Made' Class 2 NICs to your account. 
However if your self-employment earnings were below the SPT of £6725 you may of left a gap in the year.
You can voluntary pay off the gap through your self-assessment account. A full year voluntary would cost an amount of £179.40.
Thank you.

Hi Julia62,
You will need to speak to the DWP (Department for work and Pensions) to see if paying voluntary contributions will increase your state pension and the actual
mount it goes up to if you have not done so already.
If you have ensured the year/s to pay will make an increase with DWP you will need to speak to the HMRC National Insurance helpline if the online platform
prevents you from making a payment. They will be able to check your national insurance record and advise how to pay.
