Late Fathers brother wont sell

If it was me I'd stay on in the house as (worst case) I wouldn't trust the Uncle not to sabotage viewings and (best case) there is no reason to expect Uncle (and others) to tidy, clean and be available for viewings.
Given his behaviour so far I'm veering towards the former.0 -
The brother could even sell the place(as the sole legal owner) from under the deceased wife without any involvement of the wife or executor.0

There will be a restriction as the property is held as TiC - I would imagine that the OP's solicitor is alive to the "appointing a second trustee" angle so would take any necessary steps to prevent "dirty work at the crossroads".

Just had an update from my solicitor- He has agreed through his solicitor to the order and wishes not to go to court now. Put the house on the market and agrees that it has always been a 50-50 split.
And it seems to me that there is much less chance of an attempt to defraud the other beneficial owner where both parties are acting through their solicitors.0 -
Yes Xylophone there is a restriction on both properties.
I will be moving back to the house while it is on the market so I can support and help her get the house ready for viewings. Lets hope it goes smoothly0 -
Great that you are support you mum, sounds like she could really do with both the moral and practical support.0

Well done - I'm sure that your mother appreciates the help of a kind and thoughtful son.0 -
Thanks for the comments. Looking back on this whole situation I feel quite sad that it had to go down this route. Even my uncles kids dont understand why he has been so stubborn0

Where did the £442k remortgage go to? To their business? Seems a very large amount to remortgage. Did the insurance repay everything including the remortgage sum?0
