PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

You are asking for advice from a bunch of strangers, who don’t know you, your family, the house, and have not seen the will. What could possibly go wrong?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

What could possibly go wrong?Doesn't the same basic advice apply to any question anyone asks here? I doubt the OP will act only on what one or two people here suggest but it has maybe given them some pointers to go away and look into further.Otherwise just close the site down!5

I agree it is rare, but I particularly remember this coming up when I too studied probate a fair few years ago!GrumpyDil said:
Interesting suggestion, although I don't think I've ever seen that wording in a will or even when I studied wills many years ago. More likely to say I leave my house in which case it would fail if aunt has no house at time of passing.However if it says it leaves "a house to siblings 1 & 2", there is a risk that the estate has to buy a house and then leave it equally to you both.0
