My husband's dear father died last year. He had a farm/estate and left it to my husband. MIL and FIL were directors of the farm, and wanted DH to become a director. He always tried to get out of this because he was more interested in his own career. He did want to inherit though, and wanted his father to feel that the farm would be valued by him.
Anyway, a few months before FIL died, DH agreed to become a director, but unknown to me postponed it, and so he still isn't signed up.
Now MIL is the only director. Does this mean that DH has no legal control over financial outgoings, even if the farm is in the process of becoming legally his?
MIL's son from her first marriage is an experienced businessman and is very kindly helping her. But shouldn't DH as the heir be more involved? Are there legal implications?
