My mother is in a care home and will sooner or later need her house selling to pay her fees, the fees currently being paid for her from her pension and savings by myself under a PoA. Her will states that the house and chattels are inherited by myself, her only child. All other residue and estate are shared between me and my three step siblings, with myself and my eldest step sibling being executors.
There is no provision in the will for the proceeds of the house to be ring fenced or otherwise secured to be passed to me, I assume the cash becomes part of the residue to be shared between the four siblings as the house will no longer exist.
What can be done to secure any remaining proceeds of the house to be inherited as my mother intended?
Can an agreement be established amongst the siblings to treat the house proceeds as the will intended, e.g. in a separate savings account?
