My Mum passed away a week ago. I have written on here before that my Brother did not live with my parents due to my Mums mental health and he went into care although I didnt and I never understood why not. Long and very sad story short - She has left my brother and I an equal share in her home. I, as POA was preparing to sell this home to fund residential care costs and had secured a buyer. Now my brother has said he wants to buy out my share to which I am agreeable, but he seems to think that as I was left the money in the Bank account I can pay for everything and that it is only me that needs Probate. He will not listen to me or my Solicitor and it has now got quite nasty.
Not only am I upset over the loss of my Mum, I am now really worried about the outcome of this pig headedness. He now wants a copy of the Will and a key to the property. What happens if he will not swear an Oath for Probate. (He signed the form). He seems to think that we now 'own' the home, but we dont until Probate is granted and he wont listen.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
