I don't know what the inheritance situation is, but if you get the house, rent it! Don't lose it.

Don't worry about how you feel, sadbuttrue. There are lots of feelings you might have, and they can come and go and change, and they're all OK.
The inheritance situation will depend whether there is a will and what its terms are and who is the executor. The local council may well have an advice bureau that can help. But there's no hurry about that. Until the house is passed on to you it belongs to the estate and that means the bank has to accept that mortgage payments might be delayed. There's not much they can do about it until probate, though of course the mortgage will continue to accrue interest.

We have a copy of the will here, and 50% goes to me, and 50% goes to my brother ....and thats everything, not just the house.The problem is that the mortgage for the house is way past what me and my brother earn (as I have just returned to uni, so I don't earn much any more).Whether mum's life assurance will pull through is the big question mark over our heads at the moment. If it does, then all we'll have to work on is paying bills etc (which we may get a lodger to help out with).I'm going to the funeral directors this morning to work out the details.

hon you sound like you are coping a lot better than i think i would be hugs

I had no idea funerals cost so much!£1500 for the most basic thing I can get.£380 to burn a body£140 for 2 doctors to sign a form£95 for a vicar£980 for a hearse and coffin.It's extortionate.I don't think my grieving will begin till after the funeral. Thats why I want to get everything out of the way beforehand.

OK so I thought my week had been pretty shitty so far, right?Now some dickless shithead has reversed into the front of my car and done a runner.
-
Oh, I'm so sorry. That's the last thing you needed right now. I agree, funerals are extortionate. I ought to organise my own - something with a cardboard box and a bonfire in the backyard, perhaps.If it turns out that the mortgage will be too much of a burden, considerably more than you'd get from rent if you rented the place out, it might be better to sell. But don't worry about that just now.
-
Only just got round to clearing out mum's old room.Found letters she'd written to me and my brother before she died.That was some difficult reading. I think that I've actually started grieving now
-
I'm sure it's hard. I hope you are doing better soon.

That has to be really hard, but at least you are finally grieving. Remember that's a good thing. Helps people come to grips on what happened and to move forward.
