Cohabiting and he wants to leave house to kids

Headchef,
can he not leave the house to the children with a proviso that you are to see your days out there, and it cannot be sold until you are no longer living in it.

Of course ther would inevitably be provisions with regards to you meeting someone else, but a trip to the solicitors would iron out any what if's.

I'm going to chat to BF over this coming weekend. I know it's taken a long time but we spend so little time together. I put on another post that I am going to use Aunty Margaret's words (or try and maintain the spirit of them) to write a letter to say how we should work together etc. etc.
We need to chat about it without arguing. It's funny how Agony Aunts say 'talk' but it's the 'how to talk' rather than the 'what's the subject' which is difficult!
And it's so demeaning arguing over money let alone death!!

My Dad was in a similar situation....

Simply, he has two kids, and she has one. Now as he earns more, so he officially owns 2/3 of house and she owns 1/3. Their wills state the other is to have life tenancy of house (no conditions) and her son has tenancy until 21 (as he lives there) if anything happens. My Dad has left his share split between me & my brother, and his girlfriend to her son.

Seems very fair to me, with life tenancies if their is a surviving partner they have somewhere to live & insurance will pay mortgage.

We were told it wasn't thought we would be horrible children & try to evict people, but in case anything happened their wishes are documented.
