As part of her divorce my Mother in law was awarded a percentage of her ex-husbands property. A charge was put on the property but sadly my M-I-L has passed away 10 yrs ago and we have only just found the paperwork relating.to this. Would the charge still be in place and would it automatically be passed.to her sons? Her ex husband is still alive and still lives in the property. 

Is the ex husband the father of your husband and his brother?

If so what is the current expectation upon the father's death?

If not is there any kind of relationship that might enable communication about the issue?

Are there any relations to the MiL's ex husband that might be expecting the property to be passed wholly to them?

How problematic could that become?

Ex is not the father and although contact is still on going its a strained relationship due to the fact that he is insistent that the charge should be removed and is no longer valid since my MIL has passed away. 

We have a solicitors letter detailing the charge and we have checked with Land Registry and the charge is still on the property.

We don't know what his intentions are regarding the property and his family.
