Hi Im am about to go through the mediation process. We are going to sell the house and split which I am happy about. However 2 dwellings from one house split is a lot and not possible - I have 2 children (one adult one 9) and would need a 3 bedroom house or flat. Ex is prepared to get a small flat. My mother has offered a lump sum to enable me to afford something bigger. Would she be able to invest in the house (as opposed to just giving me the money) directly so I can avoid the inheritance tax if she passes away before the kids move on? Thank you! or can you advise where I can find this information or alternatives - I am at a loss and no money spare but want to go in prepared.
