My brother and I were left my mothers interest in her house in her will. The property was left in trust, allowing our stepfather to live in it until he either died or remarried. He has now remarried, and offered to buy half the house from us, which he says is our share, but we thought the whole property belonged to us.
The house may have been held by your mother and your stepfather as tenants in common, in which case the stepfather owns half and the will trust catches the other half. Now your stepfather has remarried the trustees can sell in order to realise your half share, or your stepfather can offer to buy your half share. Complicated provisions can apply where trusts are involved, so you should take a copy of the will and the title deeds to a solicitor.
