Parents have done a will with a solicitor. It's a bit complicated as I was with an awful ex at the time so they did it where (I think) the executor is the solicitor.
My Dad thought they had paid everything owed up front but actually my Mum had understood correctly and the solicitor gets a percentage of money from the estate.
Mum won't change this.
So the situation is that dd gets the house minus ten percent to me and the solicitors percentage.
The thing is dd loves that house and would love the house rather than the money from selling it, no way could she get something as nice for the money they are selling for now and it is the perfect family home.
She could possibly get a small mortgage or loan to pay the solicitors percentage but I'd rather not take my percentage.
Can u refuse it and ask for it to be passed straight to dd? 10% would be about 10k so I'm pretty sure inheritance tax wouldn't be relevant but not sure what else.
