Husbands mam died three years ago. Before her death she made it very clear that the family house was to be left for everyone to use at week-ends or for holidays etc. Regretably, this was never written in any will and I suppose my husband and sister assumed that her wish would be adhered to. There are eight in family but using the house would only really apply to my husband and sister who live the other side of country, rest of family all live within the county. Anyway eldest son lives on the farm and this house was on the land. After her death his wife got rid of everything without telling anyone and they decided to rent the house which means we cannot use it during Summer months and when my husband does mention using it the wife always dismisses his question. Naturally my OH is upset about this but is not the type to cause any trouble. Just think its sad that he cant go back to his home as we went down a lot when his mam was alive. last time we went to his local city for week-end we just booked a hotel as we couldn't be bothered asking if house was free. Any suggestions on this ?
