Unusual question

[Isthiscorrect]

Ok. This is completely mental but DH and I only have two living relatives. DH father who is 97 and DS who is 28.
DS has no partner or children. He owns a house. He needs to write a will. It leaves everything to me and DH 50/50 or 100% to one surviving parent.
In his will he wants to leave his house and assets to a very very niche organisation not based in the UK. He has chosen this organisation because the actual 'sport' brings all three of us great family memories. To be honest it makes no difference to me as I would be dead anyway if this was to come to pass.
This is ok isn't it? If he doesn't leave it to this organisation then I'm guessing intestate it goes to the government.
Tell me we are not all barking mad and that he should do something sensible instead. We both fully support him in whatever he decides. We just need to get it in writing.

Honestly? I think it's strange you are asking the internet about the potential will of a 28 year old man. Is there some reason he needs help with this? That would also be the reason he should not leave his house to this organisation.

I guess what I'm asking is about capacity?

He can leave it to whoever or whatever he wants. Just remind him to change it should he have a partner/kids in the future.

Seek advice from a solicitor - it's not expensive to get a will drafted.

Intestate doesn't mean it automatically goes to the government. There could be distant relatives who may be eligible to inherit.

The only thing I would check is how inheritance works if it’s left to an organisation not in the UK - would there be IHT to pay here? Would there be additional tax or other implications in that country?

Agree with others, your DS needs to get advice from a solicitor.

He can leave it to whoever he wants but he’s only 28 so there’s a good chance he will meet a partner/ have children if he wants them. Just make sure he changes his will if that’s the case.

I think that he needs to pick a cause if you and your DH have died. The solicitor will advise him how to word everything. Such as "my house Is to be sold and the profit to go to X". The full costs to be met by my estate etc. You all are in a unusual position of not having cousins etc.

We are in the unusual position of having no cousins. No faintly except elderly father.

Obviously we support him to do whatever he wishes with his money and his house. Currently it's to us if he dies first. Otherwise it's to this organisation. Entirely his choice. As he says if this comes to pass none of us will care. And the organisation he's chosen has happy memories. So that's it.
None of my business as some else said but he was asking for help so I offered my opinion. It will go to a solicitor and yep we have reminded him that if the time comes he will need to change it.
