    Go easy on the OP, its their first post, probably their last and asking numptyish questions.....at least they are not trying to advertise a web site or company.

    Assuming your mum wants to and can sell and give you a share, what can she sell next time you get into problems with money? Not to mention all the other problems already stated like deprivation and no where to live should her partner die etc.

    Plus her giving you money to pay off debt will in no way help you get a mortgage any time soon. AFAIK mortgage companies/banks check all your income/outgoings very carefully these days. So a massive influx of money would be spotted and questioned. You would need a good answer for the extra money.
    63 mortgage payments to go.

    Golly, what a lot of judgement with such little information. Going back to the OP's question. Yes she can, and yes he can. But you need to see a solicitor and as someone else says she might get into trouble if she needs to pay for care at some point.

    sounds like your brother will need Derren Brown to convince him to take a mortgage from a rent free position.
