• Safe Guarding Interests Of Beneficiaries

    By Guest on 23rd May 2018

    My mum recently died. She was a tenant in common with her partner and her will states that he can live there until he wants to sell or dies at which time 50% of the sale of the property is to go to her 2 grandchildren. My mum's partner is now threatening to sell the house to his brother for 30K (about 200K short of it's worth) to his brother so that he doesn't have to give the children their inheritance. What can I do to safeguard their interests?

    Thank you - I did speak to a really good conveyancing lawyer and for all those in a similar predicament, if you are a tenant in common you have a restriction on the deeds already although this can get bypassed if you are crafty, but a restriction Q put onto the deeds stops anyone from being able to sell from under you and totally protects the inheritance meaning that the surviving tenant in common can only sell their share of the property, not the whole property. I hope this info can help others - it's a bit of a minefield but you can fill the form out yourself and send it to the land registry with the relevant documents (copy of the will etc).
