Hi, hoping someone may be able to give me some advice. I have lived in my fathers house / family home for the past 19 years with my son. My father remarried and moved to Spain in 2003 with my step mum. My mum died 21 years ago. My and my son have lived at the family home ever since and rented to my father. I have spent money and carried out repairs and done the house up with new kithchen, floorings, decorated etc over the years. Anyway my father and step mum announced last week that they want to sell the home, downsize an dhvae found an apartment. My father has said he will give me some money for a deposit and that when he dies the new apartment will go to me. It’s in his will. I have asked the question if he dies won’t the property go to my step mum? Anyway he has reassured me that it won’t...but I am really sceptical and concerned. I don’t have enough spare money to pay for legal advice and so would very much appreciate any advice. The sale of the family home will enable my father and step mother to have a very comfortable life but I’m really worried that I will be left with nothing especially if he dies before my step mother. In effect they will be spending a large amount of my inheritance ..... i am pretty shellshocked at this moment in time.
