Will and inheritance changes. Property involved!

First time posting, hopefully im in the correct section, apoligies if not. UK Based.

My Partners Grandad has recently passed away. The Will specifies that the house and assets are to be split into three and given to his kids (one of which is my partners mother (my MIL)).

The MIL wants to keep the house (£285k). My partner and I are able to pay the other 2 children off so that they still get their 'equal cut'of the value of the Will and enable my partners mother to keep the house.

Caveat to this.. no one trusts my partners mother with money, and their agreement to allowing the house to be passed over is to have the house in my partners name. MIL is happy with this as she fully trusts my Partner.

There are obviously benefits to this in terms of paying no additional inheritance tax when my partners mother passes. Due to inheriting, not paying stamp duty on the property. House security in the case that partners mother falls ill and requires care.

I just want to know if this is all possible? It would need a deviation of the Will written up I presume, but how would the 'My partner and I paying the other 2' be worked out?..

I have this as an idea in my head, but I want to ensure that it's all possible and legal.

Partner and I already own our first home with a mortgage and we have enough savings to financially support ourselves.

Any help would be appreciated.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Pool fill without engineer oversight

We are in the process of purchasing our first ever home in CA and we just discovered in the disclosures that the new build property we are purchasing previously had a swimming pool which was filled without an engineer onsite to approve the work (details from disclosure below). Is this something we should be concerned with or not? Is it something we should have additional inspections conducted on? We are originally from the UK and not really sure what to do with this information and if it is concerning or not. A POOL DID EXIST PREVIOUSLY. COPING, TILE, GUNNITE AND REBAR WERE ALL REMOVED AND DIRT AND CLEAN DRAIN ROCK WERE USED TO FILL IT IN. COMPACTED FILL WAS NOT USED AND NO ENGINEER APPROVED THE DIRT AND DRAIN ROCK FILL IN submitted by /u/tommot82 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/dpyzw8/pool_fill_without_engineer_oversight/

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
