My mother owned her house outright and it was worth between £150,000 and £200,000.
My sister lived with her when she died and paid minimal rent if any. I also have two brothers.
When my mum passed in 2020, the rumour was she was leaving it to my sister as she had nothing. She didn’t tell me or my brothers.
My sister has now lived there for six years on her own. She hasn’t made any significant improvements to the property. She’s more or less unemployed.
Probate hasn’t been started, she says because she can’t be bothered. No will has been seen by anyone.
