Left dads house in will.

My father died, he owned house in just his name, my mum moved back in with him 4 months before his death to care for him after 4 years apart. His will has left the house to me but with a clause stating that mum can live there till her death or until she goes into care home etc. Do I need to get the title deeds changed now into my name or is it ok to wait until the time the property will be sold?
Thanks

I think you should do it right away, i suppose you should do a will as well. Something should go down in writing about what would happen to your Mum if she was still living in the house and you got knocked over by a bus tomorrow.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

How old was your Father?
As he seems to keep dying, 1st he recently passed away 17/10/06, then he again dies a year later 4/3/07 now 6 years later he dies again recently?
Even the almighty Jesus Christ didn't manage that :eek:0 -

No the post on 17/10/06 stated he had been diagnosed with an terminal illness. Yea he died in 2007, at that time I was advised that to leave the property in his estate till I needed to sell it. I just wanted to double check this info as my mum is worrying about it.
However in one of those posts, it was mentioned that the estate was left to your Mother, as you may know, one has to be in a certain state of mind to be able to write a will, so being terminal, you may find that the estate being left to you testament, could be invalid, Please sort out the actual facts, as there are good people on the forum that can assist, but playing the sympathy card somewhat diminshes the good nature of those that give up their time to assist their fellow readers and makes you look like a troll, which I'm sure you are not.0 -

My 58 year old father has just been diagnosed with a terminal illness. He lives with my mum but the property (worth about £100K) is in his name only, they have lived apart for the last 4 years but she has moved back in a month ago to look after dad. His current will leaves everything to my mum. Mum wants this changing so everything is left to me & my younger brother, but have some sort of agreement in place where she can live in the house until her death or until she's no longer able to look after herself. Her reasons for this is so that if she needs long term care in the future, she won't be made to sell the house & use the money to pay for the care costs, robbing us sons of our inheritance (her words - not mine!). Dad also agrees with this.
Is there a way of doing this?
Thanks in advance.
Somebody's last testament statement is their own, it is not for your Mum to want it changed as in, she can just have her own LTS will if she feels she may pass before you or your brother.0 -
yes but my dad was in full agreement and his will was changed to what they both wanted. The original will was from before they separated.0

Come on!, that is not a valid LTS will, if the deceased was coerced by one of the benficiaries. If they never divorced then I understand that Mum has the estate, also finally last testament statements are quite private, so not sure why he had one written if the whole family are to know and have input into what it may or may not include.0 -

Think we will leave it there.
Thanks for the wonderful help you have given me :rotfl:0 -

Some families discuss things like that openly, mine does, it's not for us to tell people how to run their family lives. The important thing is nobody was disinherited by coercion.Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0
