My parents and my husband and I are thinking about selling our houses and buying a large property together with separate dwellings that my parents can live in for 6 months of the year when they're not travelling as grey nomads.
But we're curious about the following:
My dad inherited his family home at 18 after his parents passed a few years earlier. My mum was previously married prior to my dad with 1 child. They divorced and the child continued to live with the father in their family home they later inherited.
A few years later my parents met, married and had me. My dad has provided for my mum for all these years and she has never had to work to contribute to a mortgage etc. The house was already his.
She has been estranged from her child from previous marriage for almost 20 years by her child's doing.
So my question is, if we bought a property with my parents with a contribution 60% us, 40% them , upon their death can this child have any entitlement to my mum's share in the property? My husband and I probably wouldn't be in a position to buy them out...
