My dad's will passed ownership of the family property to my mother, who is currently quite sick and may not recover. I am unclear as to the legal implications of the trust set up in her will in respect of the family property.
My mother's will states that, in respect of the family property, that the "exclusive right to hold, use, occupy and enjoy" the property is given to my brother as the sole trustee with absolute discretion as to sell the property or delay such sale, but he holds the proceeds of such a sale and any part of the Property unsold upon trust for two beneficiaries, 60% for himself and myself in 40%. What rights will I have in relation to the property? Whilst my brother has "exclusive" rights to the property and will presumably be able to live there, surely as trustee he needs to act in my best interests as well. As my brother and I do not have a good relationship and are not on speaking terms, I do not trust him to act in my best interest.
