My soon to be ex wife will be living in my house for 18 months or unless she decides to move on sooner,the house will then be sold and proceeds split down the middle.My only concern is that if she dies whilst living in the house what will happen to her half of the equity? She hasnt made a will and has a daughter living in America.Can anyone advise me on this please.

hello

Im not exactly sure and hopefully someone will be along to advise better, but from your profile your not actually divorced yet- is that still right? and on the deeds of the property are you tennents in common? or joint tennents?
if you are still married and are tennents in common then I think it automaticly goes to you (i think).
My ex to be severed our tennancy as advised by his sol and then wrote a will. Although I have begged him to tell me who will benifit from his will I am advised that it is non of my business.
So I think that to get an answer you may have to find out how your tennancy stands (don't ask her, may give her idea's). and confirm that you are still married, although I'm intriged to know if it makes any difference if you have Nisi.
