PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

googler - Sorry, I was writing my answer when you posted your comment. By the time I posted mine, I was then too lazy to move it to the other thread. Also, I had quoted this OP extensively so I'm not sure it would have made sense on the other thread? Though I appreciate your efforts to tidy the forum.
OP - re the information from another source. I'm not a solicitor or financial advisor, but just from a common sense view I disagree with it. Your partner doesn't already own the £100k equity in the house. What's been written sounds like a legitimate argument if your MIL had died and the house had passed to your partner and SIL, with your partner having a £100k share in it. But as it stands, your MIL owns the house. She might have said your partner can have a chunk of it, but that doesn't legally make it your partner's now.
As I said though, that's just my reaction to what's been said. You need professional advice.0 -
It sounds more like a 'gifting' situation but I am sure you really need to see a good financial advisor, and also seek legal advice.Grab life by the balls before it grabs you by the neck.0
