My boyfriend and I have been in a strong happy relationship for 10 years. We had our baby 20 months ago and have been thinking about writing wills. We both own a house (separate mortgages)
He owns half his house with his mum, it’s in negative equity, needs work doing and he currently rents it to his cousin.
My house is being paid off and making regular overpayments.
I didn’t return to work following the birth of our son, my boyfriend is so supportive of this and actively encouraged it.
Anyway, we started discussing the wills tonight and I was, rightly or wrongly, quite shocked that he said he wants his estate to be shared as follows - 50% To our son, 30% to me, and 20% to his mum.
In my will I was just going to put everything to him.
Am I right to feel a bit shocked and put out by this or is this ‘normal’?
