Yeah ok, I’m overreacting. Sorry OP, chalk it up to a rubbish few days, shouldn’t have taken it out on you.

There is always the likelihood that any assets he has will end up being spent on the cost of his long-term care. £200k really isn't very much when you look at the cost of a decent nursing home or good quality in home care.

You ever get those days where you wish you didn't hit enter? I did the same today somewhere else

It happens.

We can all get snappy etc - same as IRL..and mostly it is hard to gauge in a Forum, but sometimes with regulars, you can see there is a difference to their normal posting style.

I have deleted an earlier post deemed as an unnecessary response

It always amazes me that Registrars, estate agents and solicitors don't spot the gun, knife or noose being held against the person when these wicked stepmothers are "forcing" their husband's into certain actions.

If the husband in this case is so unhappy and so determined to take all that the wife can offer in terms of company and care, perhaps he should do the honourable thing and instigate divorce instead.

I find it's when a subject or even just an individual post touches on an emotional trigger point that I'm at risk of posting something I regret.

As you say - it happens.

Same, there are a few topics that get me dragging my high horse out of it's stable.

If they bought the house as joint tenants then it would not be part of your father's estate but would pass entirely into the ownership of your wicked stepmother. You would then be entitled to 25 % of anything that was in his estate.
If you think it is any of your business you may want to suggest they own the property as tenants in common.

With regards the house wouldn't it depend on how the house is held?


If it's Tenants in Common then if it was held 50/50 before death then your dad's half could be held in trust for you & your sister for whatever length of time your dad decided.


If it's Joint Tenants then the entire house would go to your stepmum & then she'd get the house plus 50% of anything else.
