Hi Blondie,

Sound a little strange to me I know everyone grieves differently and she may not want to be alone but she must know you guys need your space. Personally, without knowing the ins and out of the situation I would have a chat with your partner and express your concerns about the situation, then arrange a meeting with the his mother and explain the previous situation and try to come up with a plan together to move forward in the situation.

Unfortunately not knowing you, your partner or his mothers relationships and attitudes towards money its hard to see which way it will go.

Hope you resolve it soon.

I think it will depend on the terms of the legacy. If the money was left to your partner by his Dad, then why does his Mum have it & not him? If the terms of the will state that the money is for your partner, then he should ask for it as it's rightly his. If the money was left to his Mum & there was just a verbal understanding that your partner as the son would get some of it, this may be more difficult to act on, as I would assume that if in the terms of the will it was left to his Mum, then it's going to be her money to use as she sees fit. Probably worth having a look at what the terms actually were. Agree that everyone needs to move on from this situation. It sounds far from ideal.
