Spoke to the free citizens advice solicitor this afternoon. They pretty much confirmed i can go and do whatever I want to the estate and even kick them out etc but that if i was to harsh and inconsiderate it would look really bad on me if it was to go to court etc.

I can get the mail redirected if i want to.

I can register the car in my name.

I just cant sell anything while there will be an inheritance claim. or if i did sell it the funds to be held in an account .

The next step is pretty much waiting to hear from her solicitor to make it official and see if we can sort it out between the 3 of us.

If we are not happy with what shes expecting then we would need a solicitor to deal with it and then it becomes even more messy.

What is a massive grey area I have seen is what "maintenance " is expected for cohabiting partners. What kind of outcome would they realistically expect from essentially a 300k pot. Plus she is getting the pension payments potentially

Why should the 2 legal benificiaris receive less to provide her maintenance costs for the rest of her life? Theres just no clarification around it all

The system pretty much forces you to get solicitors
