MIL has recently amended her will to take into account all of her grandchildren. She has forwarded us a letter from her solicitor regarding this presumably for DH's information.
DH has one brother who lives at home with his parents, he does not work (his choice ) and has not done for several years, DH's parents support him (their choice).
The information regarding the will states that on the death of both of DH's parents that the house cannot be sold for 12 months , presumably to allow his brother to make arrangements. However the next clause in the letter states that if after 12 months DH's brother does not wish for the house to be sold that there are arrangements in place that mean he will not have to do so. Does this in effect mean that the brother will be able to live in the house indeffinately and that in effect he is inheriting the house on the death of his parents? If the house is sold MIL has stipulated that the proceeds be split proportionately between DH , his brother and the grandchildren, but is this academic if she has arranged it in a way that allows DBIL to live in the house for as long as he choses?
Hope that makes sense.
