Mum says partner can stay in property for life

Mum’s new partner is moving in with her (she owns). She has said he can stay in the property til his death if she passes away first.
She’s going to change her will to state this.

Anyone got any advice on what this means for my siblings and me as beneficiaries & executors of her will?
Will we in effect become landlords & be responsible for the maintenance & upkeep of the property?
Will he be able to make a financial claim against the property?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all of the replies very helpful.

We want her to be happy & move on with her life but seems very soon and are worried about love bombing & coercive control. I might be too suspicious but he has landed on his feet.

Hadn’t considered the impact it could have on claiming benefits etc.
