My Mother recently died and left a will leaving her house to myself and my Brother. I have got written valuations of the house and i am presenting them to my solicitor. As the will is very clear and not complicated, can i buy through the solicitor my brothers half of the house with my own cash, giving him the same ammount as he would of got in a sale, and keep the house. We are both in agreement with the price and details and of course will have it written up by our solicitor. All other cash etc will stay in a 50/50 split as stated in the will

Thanks....triplist

If you give him half the valuation figure through the Solicitor and he is happy with that then I cannot see any problems, the Solicitor will then arrange to have the full ownership transferred into your sole name.
