Probate and divorce

[quicknamechangetime]

NC for this. I'll post on relationships board later as going to need a hand hold going forward but could do with some quick advice for now. DH wants trial separation, his mother died this year and probate has been granted but his mothers house sale is not at exchange stage yet. If we do separate will the house proceed sales be included in any settlement when it's finally sold or are his only?

In this situation the courts will try to preserve your husband's inheritance and will only dip into it if there is no other way to meet your reasonable needs.

I don't know the answer, sorry. I assume it might depend on circumstances.

In some case the way suggested above would surely be unreasonable. What if the wife always earned more in their earlier years, and everything had been shared? Then buggered off down the line?

The trial separation isn't relevant. You remain married until the divorce is finalised.
If he inherits the house before your divorce goes through, it would be considered a matrimonial asset.
He might not inherit the house anyway (what does the Will say?)

Thanks. Yes he does own the house.

I’m afraid that Singlenotsingle is one of those posters who comes on here spouting any old bollocks .

Prh47bridge has accurately and succinctly summed up the law.
