inheritance ?

[tasharidg]

My mother has had a will written leaving everything to myself and my 3 sisters split 4 ways equally , but now one of my sisters has talked my mother into buying a house with her , my mother has told my other 2 sisters and myself not to worry about our inheritance as she will go to a soliocitors to sort it , but i fail to see how it can be split equally 4 ways with my other sister on the mortgage , could this be done or is my sister as we expect , lining her own pockets at our expense , any answers would be greatly appreciated , thanks in advance

GRRR your mum's not even dead and you are squabbling over her money. For all you know, she may have to sell the house to pay for care in 10 or 20 years time. just be glad you have your mum! = plenty of people would prefer their mum to money.
It is not "at your expense" seeing as you are puttin NO money into it at all your mu is an adult and its completely up to her where she puts her money, rather than having to worry about money grabbing relatives who see an inheritance as their right..
TBH i dont think you have a right to talk about "lining her own pockets" when your primary concern is lining yours!!!!!

Well I tell you something for nothing.

I have told my 3 sons, not to expect anything when I and Mr Funny die, as we plan to spend the lot!!!!!

We gonna sell the house, bank the money and spend!

Let them stand on their own feet and not expect anything for nothing.

No reason why your mother and sister cannot own the property as tenants in common which means your mother is free to leave her share of the house equally between the four of you, subject to any mortgage.

On death, the normal thing that would happen is that either the property sold, and after mortgage is seltted one half split between you or your sister take the mortgage on and buy the other beneficiaries out.

I have read lots of post like this. Why do people assume it is their right to inherit? My Mum died at Christmas and there was nothing for my brother and I and we didn't want anything anyway. Mum spent her money while she was alive and so she should have, yes we were treated to holidays and she was there to enjoy them with us. After everything was paid out the only money left was for her dog and cat to be looked after.

why do you waste time worrying about the assets of a dead person? If I was your mum I'd leave it to the cats home rather than you squabling wretches.

Bed knobs , we are not squabbling at all i just , wondered , i have never asked my mother for anything yet my sisters are there daily taking her to the cleaners, i am glad i still have my mother and i hope she is here for a long time yet ,nothing is a right and as for lining my own pockets i have more than enough money thank you , but i appreciate your answer thankyou.

Why don't you simply ask your mum how your inheritance will be protected?
I was in the same position with my sister and my mother insisted that the 3 of us went to the solicitors so all 3 of us were happy.
