Legal Advice About A Will

[davidmarsden]

my ex wife has a "caution" on my property.if i sell the house i have to give her
40% of any profit.can i write in a will that i do not wish the property to be sold
until my current wife dies or can my ex wife force the sale after my death.
she only has a caution and not a charge.she even got the caution by underhand means but i have no proof

i don't think her death will make a difference - the money will go to her estate instead

No bednobs, wrong.

A caution is a note attached to the title register that requires that the land registry informs the holder of the caution if an application is made to sell it.
Nothing more, nothing less.
As you correctly observed it is not a charge so does not entitle her to a split of any proceeds - not without further entitlement as determined by other legal action.
It might be as well to resolve why she done this, as it sure is going to delay any sale when thtime finally comes.
