Hi
My mother passed away a few weeks ago. In her will it stipulates that I have six months to buy the house and if I dont then the house is to be sold and the proceeds divided between myself and my 2 siblings. I have absolutely no issue with this however today one of the executors (my mothers brother) visited me and informed me that he has been told by the solicitor handling the probate that on the 6th month anniversary of my mothers death that the house must be empty of all current belongings and be ready to be sold. In the current market I reckon it would be awhile before its sold and I would need my share as a deposit on a place to live. I am prepared to pay rent to my siblings till the house is sold.
So my question is. If my siblings are agreeable, am I allowed to stay in the house under a rental agreement or does the executor have to tell me get out? I am perfecly willing to comply with my mothers wishes I just would like to stay here until we can sell the house.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I plan to get legal advice this week but would like a heads up is possible
