My MIL, DH and I all live together and have done for over 10 years. We all get on together very well. In the last couple of years MIL's health has declined and now my DH is a full time carer for her. I work full time. MIL is frail and disabled and we both look after her along with a carer who comes in once a day to help her get washed and dressed in the morning. My DH and I have lasting power of attorney (financial).
MIL has fallen out with her other son after he visited her and behaved in a very threatening way, demanding to know about "the money". We have no idea what he meant because when she tried to get him to calm down he stormed off. We think it may have something to do with the fact that his MIL and FIL both died recently and were found to have 'secrets' (his words). The only contact since has been a couple of nasty emails from him that upset MIL very much.
Several years ago MIL decided to leave her estate (her share of the house we live in) solely to my DH for various reasons and has written a letter, kept with her will, to explain why. This was way before the falling out and the other son doesn't know about this. I find this all very strange but I try to keep out of it. I would prefer all this to be out in the open.
We are really worried about what he can do legally about the will when the time comes. My DH, MIL and I have a percentage share each of the house we live in together and if he tries to contest the will we may be forced to sell.
Do we have anything to worry about?
I've got another 'keen'... Ouch!
