If your mum has dementia then she may or may not have capacity to make a will. 

Have they said why they don’t want to - some people just don’t want to go there whereas others think there’s no need because the people they want to inherit will do so anyway. 

Are they property owners, and if so how is the property owned - joint tenant, tenant in common? 

She still has some capacity, but its a now or never situation as it is diminishing day by day.  

My dad just literally cannot be bothered with it all (his words).  We've just done the LPA for them both and it took years for him to agree to this.  In this defence he's caring for his wife of 40+ years and is unwell himself so I suppose its just too much.  We have offered all the support we can but its his decision when push comes to shove.  

yes they are joint tenants, they own their house outright now.  My dad also owns large pieces of land and property abroad but my head can't even go there because it’s just too complicated.  Nothing has been sorted over the years and nothing in writing.

You father should probable have a separate will for the property, which country?
