Hello

My mum does not want her husband to be able to sell her house as she wants my kids to have it ( im an only child) so she wants to make a trust will and name me as trustee but her husband will need to live there until death if she goes 1st ( she is older than him )

I do not like this man. He has has only ever financially abused my mother and currently has a lot of debt in his name.

This is not his home land she worries he will sell up and go back home with all the money and he doesn't deserve to be able to take it all and run.

Advice welcome ? Also if we are trustees then does he need to be as well? As I imagine that just would be crap too.

@Leavesfalling yes, other MN actual lawyers are available 😉 (not me… but I pay attention to legal matters and recognise some posters as longstanding reliable qualified commentators and am often concerned at the level of myth and misapprehension posted by non qualified general MN posters)
