Re: Leaving adult kids in uk
The problem with the house on the beach is that we now have a group of owners of vastly different means. The oldest is my OH, retired like I am, and well off, as are others, but the youngest is a 22 year old daughter of the deceased cousin I mentioned, who is a low paid social worker. She and her siblings each own 1/27th but simply can't afford 1/27th of the cost of bringing the house up to safe standards.
Or maybe you should all become good Socialists and everyone pays according to ability to pay, for the common good.
Or, seriously, it actually sounds like a situation where an SCI would be the best answer.
Either way, it does seem a uniquely French problem, but do you think it would have got solved better under UK inheritance rules? Would it have gone to one person, and if so wouldn't that have risked causing jealousy and resentment?

Novo,
Look to your Corcovado avatar for a solution. You clearly need a miracle!

I and my OH, one of her cousins and her husband are already good socialists. Oh, and the music journalist. But the rest aren't.
