Dear All,
I hope you can assist me with your views.
I own 50% of the family home with my mother (joint tenants in common). I was added to the title after my father died over 10 years ago. I have lived with, and been caring for, my mother throughout this time.
Sadly my dear mother passed away recently and matters of inheritance are now being discussed with my other siblings. My mother did not make a Will but expressed wishes to me regarding the allocation of monies from her 50% share of the house on her death bed. I noted these and she signed the paper I wrote them on.
One of my sisters, who provided care for her over recent years, was given special mention in her final words. I desperately want this particular sister to receive what my mother stated however I am doubtful whether my other siblings will agree. What can be done in such a situation? Is there anything that I can do to ensure my mother's wishes are realised? I feel strongly about this as my other siblings have done relatively little to help her over the years.
Thank you for your time and please ask me any further questions if this helps.
B
