MIL asking partner to be executor of will but just expecting him to accept it

[Charlotte716]

So my MIL has asked my partner to sign some papers to say he will be in charge of what happens on her passing.

No asking or discussing just sign this. He is one of three but probably the most responsibile.

So she will have not assets, no house savings but she does have debts, does anyone know what will happen to those and if he will be responsible for them?

I’m really annoyed at he expectation, I understand it’s a morbid subject but there is no discussion at all and the relationship is already strained.

Thanks that's helpful.

senua It's more the sale of her flat with the proceeds going into trust until the boys reach 21 that has me concerned. My mum said I'd just need to sell her flat and put their share of the money in a bank account and hand them over when they reach 21. But I'm not sure it's that straight forward tbh.

Frayed no, unless they are virtually 21 at the time it won’t be! It will be doable but it will need some thought
