Buying with husband/wife - Joint Tenants or TIC better?

@Terry_w if in TIC then goes through the will to the kids, would the spouse have much of a family provision claim, against their own children? Given children would generally need the money a lot more. Also if the spouse is given a life interest in a property, would that lesson their ability to make a family provision claim?

Questions just for interest, I don’t think my husband would claim against our kids!

 

It will depend on the circumstances. Any eligible person can make a claim and and this would include spouses. But whether they would get anything awarded to them will depend on a number of factors such as other assets, benefits during a life time, needs, living expenses etc.

There are a fair few cases of children suing parents and vice versa.

 

It depends...means get personal advice. The medicine your neighbour takes may not help
