Buying house off inlaws

Is it a mirror will?0

The way I read the will, the fathers half goes to his children from his first marriage, on the condition that they can't sell it until the MIL passes away. Issume therefor that both the MIL and the FIL's children own half the house each.
I believe what the op wants to do is buy the childrens half now and get the MIL's half cheap.
It depends on whether the house was owned as tenants in common or joint tenants.
If tennants in common, then yes you are right
If joint tennants, the will is invalid as the whole house passes automatically to the surviivng spouse
Which is why we must establish which way the house is owned before offering any specific help.
HI VALLI, just noticed you there, hope youre doing well - Anniemake the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0
