Hi All,
Im looking for some advice her for my mother in law.
My MIL's father died in feburary 2007. He did not have a will. There are assets of house and land. There is his wife, son and two daughters left(including mil).
So the wife should get 50% and the other 50% split equally between the three children. The wife and son decide they arent happy with this and want MIL to give up her share and that son and other daughter will do the same so that the wife owns everything.
The wifes solicitor contacted MIL about this and MIL has decided that she dosent want to do it. The solicitor will not take no for an answer. My mil is receiving numerous phonecalls from the solicitor and her mother/brother and now the mother has started phoning my husband to try and get him to change his mothers mind.
What can my MIL do now? Is there a certain length of time before probate has to go through? Any advice welcome.
MIL did consult a solicitor herself when she found out that there was no will and he offered no advice, just said she either had to say yes or no to signing away her right.
