To be worried about a fall out over this inheritance?

My mother has just lost her mother this week, so that’s both parents gone now.

For info she and I grew up next to her parents and my childhood was spent at their home basically. When my grandfather died he split the house between his children. However because my uncle is very rich, he said that when the time came, he would sign the entire house over to my mother. This has never been written down, said only verbally.

however since then, my mum has been a career for her mother for over ten years. It has been tough and she’s taken the brunt.

today she said he better make good on his promise or else they will fall out. I actually feel quite angry about this because if they fall out, it will be the end of my relationship with my cousins families as well as my uncle and aunt. How can I persuade her otherwise??

Wait and see what happens first.

That's a bit unreasonable of her to make an ultimatum like that so soon after it happened. What has his reaction been? He may well still intend to honour his promise. I think you need to make her realise that by treating him like he's a piece of shit, he's more likely to renege on his promise.
