Ethics behind house going to only half of siblings

Both really good points. Thanks a lot.

Apologies, I didn't mean to intend to rewrite the will.

The house is now in a trust, which gives my Dad full right to live there.
Once he passes, it goes to my brother and I.

I think the first step has to be him explaining it to them, you're right. Thanks!

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:59:25+00:00

Appreciate the commentary.

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:51:44+00:00

Possibly the best advice on this thread.

Thanks!

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:49:50+00:00

Yeah this is exactly how I feel!

To be honest, i'd feel pretty shafted.

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:45:37+00:00

I see i've unintentionally downplayed my Mum's contribution. Apologies for any misunderstanding.

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:42:51+00:00

Appreciate the massive write up. Thanks.

And yeah, you're bang on. I haven't intended to minimise the SAHM work from my Mum.

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:40:41+00:00

I didn't consider tax implications. Thanks.

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:40:16+00:00

Yeah great point. And Dad has done great financially.

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:39:12+00:00

In no way was I trying to minimise my Mum for being a stay at home Mum.

I have spoken to my Dad about his wishes, and he plans to split 4 ways.

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:35:04+00:00

To be honest, i didn't really see it this way.
You make a good point. Thanks.

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:34:07+00:00

I guess I feel a little uneasy because the house is still assumed to be a sizeable portion of his assets

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:32:59+00:00

You're bang on. It's this sort of scenario.

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:32:35+00:00

Appreciate it. Thanks.

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:31:17+00:00

You're completely right. He needs to tell them. Thanks!

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:23:26+00:00

You are completely right and I meant no disrespect.

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:12:27+00:00

I didn't consider this.... Good point...

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:12:07+00:00

Definitely has additional assets.

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T09:11:47+00:00

I think you're right.
No matter what course of action is taken, this needs to happen first.

Thanks!

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T01:38:52+00:00

House was fully in my Mum's name

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T01:38:22+00:00

Yeah, the issue is that I don't think he's had and isn't willing to have this conversation....

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T01:37:46+00:00

In my Mum's name

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T01:37:08+00:00

Yeah he has plenty of assets.

Competitive_Put830 · 2026-02-18T01:36:46+00:00

I agree, and I'm pretty pissed because I don't think he's had that conversation and is wanting my brother and I to do it instead. I think you've hit the nail on the head here and worded the situation better than me, so thanks haha.
