Hi again,my mother died 5 years ago no will house/land left to my sister and I.For 5 years my husband and I have looked after and maintained property with virtually no input including bills and repairs to the house.My sister has now died and her 3 children are to inherit her half(they never visited the property to do anything during the 5 years).We have tracked down the solicitor dealing with probate (weren't told) to submit bills amounting to thousands.
We would like to buy them out(we are able) as my parents are buried at the house(my husband and I are the only ones who have maintained the graves) and it has been in the family since the 50's.All holidays spent there since childhood etc.etc.My nephew has started playing games saying that he would like to buy the property(he is a builder) he is worried that we will buy it"cheap" and that it will be worth alot more in the future.He seems to think their half is bigger than our half!
If it went to court we would be looked on more favourable due to the fact that the roof would have fallen in if we hadn't carried out the maintenance work?
