When you are brown bread, nothing else matters. I am in the same situation as you, and couldn't give a monkey's what happens when I am gone. Let them fight it out.

The house is on land.  You cannot own that land,  that's the problem.  The land was gifted to your wife,  so it's in her name I presume.   The family will get the house eventually .....  

I am not writing about the land please read my post more carefully.

'......the land will always be in her name.'

 

Sorry to be dim, perhaps.....but who's the 'her'? You mother in law or your wife? Who's the 'both'? (Sorry, just ambiguous.) If it's your wife and the place is in her name, then can't she simply bequeath it in her will to whomever she chooses, thus potentially precluding 'nasty' family getting their hands on it via next-of-kin default?

 

If the 'her' is the MiL, then it's complicated, yes.

 

Just two things occurs to me, PattayaGuy......and that's that if YOU'RE thinking about this, then to be sure your wife's family will be thinking about it, or have long done so, too. 

 

And also.....with genuine respect to your good wife, does she 100% share your own views on this? Will she totally back all efforts on your part to stop house eventually going to her kin? 

 

Like Wanderer555 advised, I'd 'go slowly and seek professional assistance'.....if that assistance is required. 

 

And good luck. I can certainly empathize with you in your situation. 

I wrote my wife's mother gave us... (i.e. gifted my wife the land - can you follow paragraphs ? There also seems to be some confusion that I am writing about the land. Lots of comments about the land very useful but off topic.
