[quote=Anonymous]In 1990 my parents and grandparents (mom's parents) went in 50/50 on a lake cabin. My mom has 3 siblings - two live out of state/country and one local sister. Local aunt was a single mom to 3 and they have always been welcome at the cabin though they don't owe or pay anything towards it.

In 2013, my parents divorced and my mom bought my dad's 1/4th of the cabin out. In 2015, my grandparents stopped going and my mom agreed she would take on all of the finances for the house since they're no longer using it.

The plan has always been that my grandparents will leave their half of the house to my mom since she's been paying for and maintaining it for 36 years. My grandma has passed on and my grandpa is now 91yo and starting to get angry "sun downers". He keeps telling my mom that he changed his will and nothing is going to her. My mom retired 3 years ago to care for him and is his sole full time caregiver which makes her the brunt of his angry tirades. Her 3 siblings range from totally disengaged to mildly helpful when specifically asked and delegated.

What happens if he really did change his will? My mom is beside herself as she is planning to live at the cabin once he passes. She doesn't have another home and not much money - she only maxed out at $79k salary in her life. The cabin is not worth much, maybe $300k, but my mom has poured 3.5 decades of money and upkeep into that place lovingly for everyone to enjoy and to keep it maintained for her retirement. Would she have to buy her 3 siblings out? Would it be possible for her siblings to say no just give it to her?

Really, really not looking forward to this if it turns into a massive family drama. [/quote]
