    Not asking for life advice but thanks for all the judgemental comments. I just need the legal advice- anyone able to assist? 
    So why are you asking on here? You never said you only wanted legal advice, for that I would highly recommend you pay for legal advice.
    Saying in court Username xyz on the MSE forum said I could claim, won't hold much weight. 
    Because it’s meant to be a supportive forum for help, experience and information….. 
    Debt free. House deposit £75k. Oct 24 have moved to Scotland. 2025 start house purchase. Do overtime, get salary increases- to £41k then £48k

    Exactly. Definitely NOT for legal advice and the forum team rules are clear on that.

    Forum members have provided information about their experience, and would hope that their experiences might help you - even if it is not what you want to hear.    I hope that you and your sibling might be able to discuss this together.
