All names/locations have all been changed.
My Great Uncle had no kids and passed away months ago, recently his solicitor got into contact, which was rather suprising as although he had some money, I didn't think I'd get anything at all.
He's left my sister and I a house each, the issue is with the way his Will is written. It states:
'I leave Rose either the Birchwood house or the Maple house to choose from and then Lily may have whichever one has not been chosen'
This means that I get first pick of 2 houses and then my sister can have whichever one I don't pick.
I don't know why he's written it up like that, we both barely saw or even knew him.
My sister and I both have homes of our own, I have a 2 bed house with 1 DC and she has a 3 bed house with 4 DC.
Birchwood House is absolutely lovely, it's 4 beds, a dining room, a massive garden and it's only 20 mins away from our current location.
Whereas Maple House is an hour and a half away, in a rural area, it's a bungalow with 3 beds.
I want to pick Birchwood house and live in it and either sell or rent out our current property, DSis thinks that that would be really selfish of me as she needs the space more and as her kids are older it would be too disruptive to move them any further then our current location, but I think she could sell Maple House and her current house and upgrade and stay in the area, she argues that I could do the same, which is true.
