My mother recently passed away. She and her partner have a house under the agreement "tenants in common" and in her Will, has left her share to myself and my sister. He has two mortgages on his share, and although our solicitor has obtained probate, I have been told that is not able to put our names on the deeds without his consent, and that he is able to transfer my mother's share to his new partner, and is not obliged to transfer to us, her inheritors. What can be done to ensure that my mothers wishes are respected? Thank you for your advice.
Hi keeleygyte!

I don't think it was legal on his behalf to transfer your mother's share of the property to his new partner. As you and your sister are the heirs to your mother's property, he should have taken your permission first. In my opinion, you should contact an attorney and file a lawsuit against him.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
