My father died seven years ago. In his will he left the house to my mother, to be passed on to me after her death. Could my mother make a will of her own and leave the house to someone else, for example my brother?
It depends on the wording of the will. It’s possible a trust was set up allowing your mother to live in the house during her lifetime even though you now own the property. In that case she would not be able to leave the house to anyone else. If your father simply left the house to your mother she would have to make a will leaving the house to you for you to inherit it on her death. Otherwise you will share it with any brothers and sisters. Show a copy of your father’s will to a solicitor.
