I will get it if she goes first that's why my son is doing this so he at least gets half the house from her when its sold cause we'll be divorced
If she dies before the divorce he's stuffed and I get my all of house back

Me no unnerstand.
If the house is YOURS and yours alone, and you have been letting her live in it rent free, DO make sure you tell your lawyer that, it will count enormously in your favour. Whose names are on the deeds is the obvious question? If she hasn't contributed to the house build or purchase then the courts may not indeed give her half the value. There is a lot of presumption about what happens in divorce financial settlements based on outdated knowledge, as we know from what has happened to some people we know. We, and they, were quite surprised at how evenhanded and fair the courts were. They are good at sniffing out "bounty hunters".

If the house is in joint names, i.e. shared, i.e. half is hers and half is yours then when she dies how will you get it all? Has she left her half to you in the will? Or is insurance somehow involved?
Obvs once divorced he can only get half the value if she leaves it to him in her will.

The house belongs to both of us rather than having half each, I think it's called shared ownership rather than joint or the other way round , when one dies the house belongs to the other.
I did try and leave my half to someone in my will but it isn't possible while the other party is alive.

Crikey, this sounds like an "en tontine" thing, which we have on our French place, to prevent the kids kicking me out if W dies before me. Not that they would but we also did it to avoid death duties.
Unnerstand now.
Yep, the lawyer will sort out how you stand.
 
Afternoon folks :).

Been another ot 1:).

Been having problems trying to get the pool sparkly, seems always to have the bottom 2ft cloudy:(. Anyway we flocked it yesterday, the shark has been on double duty last few days but didn't seem to be able to get the fine stuff that just wouldn't settle, but it looks now like we have won the battle after a quick floc:D.

Been working on the central heating system today, Noticed it seemed not to be doing what it should (designed to do).
When the solar water panels heat the tank to a level it then runs it through the 280L hot water tank (3 tanks) this works fine. If the buffer tank then heats up more it is designed to then open all the floors and pump the water through which usually takes out a bunch of heat and all is well.
So a little investigation yesterday and its not hot after the thermostatic valve, ok thats coming out for a clean.
So armed with bucket (no spade) and a couple of spanners off I go into the sweat box of a loft😅.
Isolated, drain that part and removed the valve, Hummmm could do with a clean so sorted that put back together seems to work and nothing looks broke, could it be the thermostatic head or bulb that controls it 🤔. Bleed the system to test, hang on it isnt "hissing" like it should, stop bleeding. Think I should check the filter, Isolate more and take out the filter :eek::eek:. It looks like somebody has packed it with hot chocolate powder, cleaned, all back in and running, testing phase at the moment.

So its gonna get a flush and fresh inhibitor in it before the start of the winter season. But all seems good ATM.

That not what he said ...

He said "in joint names" ... quite clear ...

What makes a difference is the legal terms - There are two main ways of owning a property jointly - these are known as Joint Tenants and Tenants in Common.

I'm not going to go any further with this other than to say that he said "that we both bought for cash in 1985" so not clear which form of tenancy they had. From that post. But from what he has said since it must be "Joint Tenancy" as he can't leave his share to anyone and if she dies he gets it all.
So, no, he didn't buy it all himself.

However, the issue I raised about her living in it 10 years rent free still ought to cut some ice.

Anyway, i have put my 5 pennorth in and will leave it unless asked a very specific question.
He is now paying for advice so best to leave it to them.

If the house belongs to both of you then there's no proportionate allocation and it's a Joint Tenancy. If there's a defined split in the ownership (percentage or otherwise) then it's a Tenancy-In-Common.
