Re: Home ownership after my grandfather and father passed away
My dear old Mums last request was 'Don't put your father in a home!'(if you knew my dad you'd know how horrific that request was,,I was begging her to change 'don't..to 'do'..he wasn't the easiest of men)
When he died my (estranged) brother decided Dad had 'told' him he could have the house,,unfortunately that didn't ring true cos the house was left to me,in writing.
It took ages to get him out and sell the place,and I divided the pot between us all equally BUT my sister had passed away and we had no choice but to give her share to her 2 daughters,who were far to immature to deal with a large(ish) inheritance but were over 18 so entitled......and they wasted every single penny......as I say..Death/Inheritances/Estates are best left to the lawyers where there is a possible ( and likely) dispute.
